Contributions
-------------
Contributions are accepted under the Contributor License Agreement in CLA.md
(CLA-CORPORATE.md for organizations), with a Developer Certificate of Origin
sign-off on every commit. Contributors retain copyright in their contributions.
The signature roster is .cla/signatures.md.
Third-party code
----------------
Foundry has no external dependencies. It is plain C11 plus, where explicitly
enabled at build time, the platform's own vendor SDKs -- CUDA (USE_CUDA=1),
Metal (USE_METAL=1), and a BLAS implementation such as Apple Accelerate or
OpenBLAS (USE_BLAS=1). Those are linked, not redistributed, and remain under
their own licenses.
Portions of the following files are derived from third-party work:
rwkvx/rx_pretrain.c, rwkvx/rx_pretrain.h, cuda_kernels/wkv7.cu
The RWKV-7 WKV backward-through-time equations are transcribed from
wkv7_cuda_fp32.cu in RWKV-LM (https://github.com/BlinkDL/RWKV-LM),
by Bo Peng (BlinkDL), licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
The transcription was modified (rewritten as scalar C and as a new CUDA
kernel). A copy of the Apache License 2.0 is in LICENSES/Apache-2.0.txt.
Model weights and datasets processed by Foundry carry their own licenses,
entirely separate from this one.
Trademarks
