The initiative for normal software

Compiled and approved by the Softreturner Foundation.

The Softreturner Foundation decided to create the Normal Software Initiative.

This may seem like a humiliation to many developers who create really good software, but we have a slightly different thing in mind.

Text of the initiative

Our foundation wondered why huge corporations (hereinafter: corporations) can absorb really worthwhile software and spoil it badly?

We founded the Normal Software Initiative.

Not in the sense that developers are currently creating bad software: there are many very promising projects now, but so that these projects and their creators do not bend under corporations that want to get worthwhile projects.

Our initiative calls for protecting your projects from this.

Also, if corporations or other companies have already ruined a product, we encourage ** to create their analogues ** - free, open and independent. They won't deteriorate over time.

The main thing to remember when participating in the initiative is that you should not forget to save your project yourself - you need to listen to the community and not insert bad changes into the project.

Due to the current situation of AI, which is being tried everywhere, the initiative calls for not using AI in their projects (meaning not integrating AI functions into their software). Let's preserve human labor and its value.

We have founded a software development department - RmSoft (Return My Soft), which "returns" normal software to users. All projects are distributed under the MIT license and are being developed under the initiative of normal software.

We believe in this world.
