Software as a common good.
Sustainability at Coderic is not a marketing claim. It is the direct consequence of how we have chosen to build since 2004: open source by default, cooperative governance, and technology designed to serve people rather than extract value from them.
Open Source as Social Infrastructure
When software is open source, it is not owned by a single company — it belongs to everyone who uses it, improves it, and depends on it. Coderic releases all of its software under open source licenses not because it is legally required, but because closed software creates dependencies that constrain the communities that adopt it.
Open source is Coderic's contribution to digital commons — software infrastructure that any organization, community, or developer can build upon without paying rent to its authors.
Solidarity Economy
Coderic operates on principles of solidarity economy — an economic model that places people and planet before profit. The revenue model for incubated projects distributes 80% of revenue to developers and 20% to the organization for infrastructure and operations.
This is not charity. It is a structural design choice: the people who do the work should receive most of the value it generates. Coderic exists to enable developers, not to extract from them.
Common Good
The Economy for the Common Good framework aligns with Coderic's foundational principles. Organizations pursuing the common good prioritize social, ecological, and democratic values over pure profit maximization.
Every product Coderic builds is evaluated not just by its technical quality, but by whether it serves the communities that use it — making their lives more productive, more connected, or more autonomous.
Environmental Responsibility
We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint. Infrastructure decisions at Coderic Cloud take energy efficiency into account. We prioritize lightweight software architectures that consume fewer computational resources — good for users, good for the grid.
Sustainable development is one of our eight operational principles alongside software freedom, innovation, excellence, education, community, collaboration, and transparency.
