You cannot fire a Constitution. That is why ours is CC0.
CC0 is a public domain dedication: the author gives up copyright entirely, everywhere, forever. Applied to an AI governance framework it means there is no license to revoke, no permission to request, no owner whose bankruptcy, acquisition, or change of heart can pull the rules out from under the people using them. Safety that lives in a team dies when the team dissolves. Safety that lives in a public domain document survives everything, including us.
What CC0 changes in practice
Fork without asking: any team, any company, any AI can copy the full text, adapt it, and run their own collective under it, no attribution legally required. Verify without trusting: the canonical text is hash-locked, so every fork can prove exactly where it diverged, the mechanism explained in checkable AI. Adopt without lock-in: because nobody owns the rules, adopting them creates no vendor dependency, the opposite of governance that lives inside a provider's terms of service.
Why a company gives away its core document
Because the document is not the moat, the practice is. Anyone can copy 42 articles. What cannot be copied overnight is 250-plus days of an unbroken public ledger, runtime enforcement with receipts, multi-vendor coordination running live, and services that install the same discipline for clients. The framework spreading is the mission succeeding: governance that replicates through forks instead of contracts.
