PrivateDAO is public and open source where the repository license applies. It is also a review surface for accountability, judging, security research, and ecosystem coordination. By using this repository as a reviewer, evaluator, security researcher, partner, or potential integrator, you should respect both the open-source license and the reserved official-use rights.

Some source files are licensed under AGPL-3.0-or-later. Those rights and duties remain where they apply. The repository also includes reserved brand, documentation, media, evidence, roadmap, service packaging, and official deployment material that is not granted for unrestricted official or commercial reuse by repository visibility alone.
For official reuse, security review, partner review, pilot access, or institutional coordination, use the official PrivateDAO channels linked from https://privatedao.org/.
