# Sponsors

AgentOS is Apache-2.0 and free to use. Development is funded by [Frame](https://frame.dev). If your company relies on AgentOS, sponsorship keeps it maintained and moving forward.

## What sponsorship supports

Maintenance, releases, documentation, benchmarks, and new features.

## What sponsorship does not buy

Sponsorship does not influence merge decisions, code review, or the roadmap. Code quality and correctness are decided on technical merit. "Partner" is used only where a written agreement says so.

## What sponsors receive

Recognition, clearly labeled as sponsorship:

- A logo or name in the README Sponsors and Partners sections, sized by tier.
- Featured placement where it fits, such as a prominent spot in the provider list or examples, or a partner badge, labeled as a sponsor or partner.
- A "Sponsored" callout in the relevant docs.
- Acknowledgement in release notes.

Tiers are arranged through GitHub Sponsors or directly. Ask for the current tiers.

## Disclosure

Every sponsor placement is labeled as a sponsor or as sponsored. Any material connection (payment, credits, discounts, or in-kind support) is disclosed wherever the sponsor appears. This follows standard endorsement-disclosure practice.

## Accelerator and credit programs

Membership in a third-party startup program, accelerator, or credit program (cloud credits, model credits, partner perks) is a relationship of the company, Frame, not a sponsorship of this repository. Such memberships are acknowledged in the README, labeled as a program. Where AgentOS uses such a service in production, it is credited as a supported provider or as "powered by," and may be featured as a partner.
