About Dinou: License, Credits & Community
License terms, release management, human-agent engineering, and creator acknowledgments.
1. Open Source License
Dinou is 100% open-source software released under the MIT License. This is a permissive license that grants developers, startups, and enterprises complete freedom to use, modify, redistribute, and integrate Dinou into both personal and commercial software projects without fees or vendor lock-in.
1.1. MIT License Permissions
- Commercial Use: Free for commercial products, SaaS platforms, and internal tools.
- Modification: Free to modify the engine, compiler plugins, and server adapters.
- Distribution: Free to distribute copies, bundles, and standalone compiled executables.
- Sublicensing: Free to embed inside closed-source proprietary software packages.
- Simple Condition: Only requires preserving the original copyright notice in distributions.
1.2. Commercial & Private Freedom
Unlike modern web frameworks that adopt restrictive licensing (BSL, SSPL) or design their architectures to funnel workloads toward proprietary cloud platforms, Dinou will forever remain under the permissive MIT License. Your code, your build pipeline, and your deployment infrastructure remain entirely under your control.
2. Changelog & Versioning
Dinou follows transparent release practices to keep production applications stable and predictable:
2.1. Semantic Versioning
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH). Breaking changes only occur across major version boundaries. Minor releases introduce backward-compatible features and performance optimizations.Release Transparency
3. Author & AI Co-Creation
Dinou is an independent open-source initiative built on the belief that developers deserve complete sovereignty over their web architecture.
3.1. Creator & Core Philosophy
Created and maintained by @roggc. Driven by real-world production requirements: eliminating opaque framework magic, removing vendor lock-in, unifying multi-runtime compilation, and building developer tools that respect developer autonomy.
3.2. Human-Agent Co-Creation
Dinou v7 has been crafted through intensive human-agent interaction between @roggc and Antigravity-Gemini 3.8 Flash high (by Google / Google DeepMind).
This pairing exemplifies the modern paradigm of agentic software engineering: human architectural intuition, design criteria, and production-tested standards directing an advanced autonomous agent capable of deep codebase analysis, high-speed refactoring, cross-bundler alignment, and zero-compromise precision.

5. Acknowledgments
Dinou is built on top of the open web and the generous open-source ecosystem:
Open-Source Ecosystem & Web Standards
- •React & The React Team: For React 19, the React Server Components specification, Server Actions, and standard Suspense streaming primitives.
- •The Bundling Ecosystem: For the pioneering work behind esbuild, Rollup, and Webpack, which makes Dinou's vendor-neutral bundler parity possible.
- •Modern JavaScript Runtimes: For advancing standard Web APIs (Fetch API, W3C Streams, WinterCG) across Node.js, Bun, Deno, and Cloudflare Workers.
- •Google & Google DeepMind: For pioneering next-generation agentic programming with Antigravity and Gemini, empowering the rapid, high-precision human-agent co-creation of Dinou v7.
- •The Open Source Community: For the countless tools, libraries, and specifications shared under permissive licenses that advance modern web engineering.
