Please also see the [Individual Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). + +## Preamble + +The Bytecode Alliance (BA) welcomes involvement from organizations, +including commercial organizations. This document is an +*organizational* code of conduct, intended particularly to provide +guidance to commercial organizations. It is distinct from the +[Individual Code of Conduct (ICoC)](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md), and does not +replace the ICoC. This OCoC applies to any group of people acting in +concert as a BA member or as a participant in BA activities, whether +or not that group is formally incorporated in some jurisdiction. + +The code of conduct described below is not a set of rigid rules, and +we did not write it to encompass every conceivable scenario that might +arise. For example, it is theoretically possible there would be times +when asserting patents is in the best interest of the BA community as +a whole. In such instances, consult with the BA, strive for +consensus, and interpret these rules with an intent that is generous +to the community the BA serves. + +While we may revise these guidelines from time to time based on +real-world experience, overall they are based on a simple principle: + +*Bytecode Alliance members should observe the distinction between + public community functions and private functions — especially + commercial ones — and should ensure that the latter support, or at + least do not harm, the former.* + +## Guidelines + + * **Do not cause confusion about Wasm standards or interoperability.** + + Having an interoperable WebAssembly core is a high priority for + the BA, and members should strive to preserve that core. It is fine + to develop additional non-standard features or APIs, but they + should always be clearly distinguished from the core interoperable + Wasm. + + Treat the WebAssembly name and any BA-associated names with + respect, and follow BA trademark and branding guidelines. If you + distribute a customized version of software originally produced by + the BA, or if you build a product or service using BA-derived + software, use names that clearly distinguish your work from the + original. (You should still provide proper attribution to the + original, of course, wherever such attribution would normally be + given.) + + Further, do not use the WebAssembly name or BA-associated names in + other public namespaces in ways that could cause confusion, e.g., + in company names, names of commercial service offerings, domain + names, publicly-visible social media accounts or online service + accounts, etc. It may sometimes be reasonable, however, to + register such a name in a new namespace and then immediately donate + control of that account to the BA, because that would help the project + maintain its identity. + + For further guidance, see the BA Trademark and Branding Policy + [TODO: create policy, then insert link]. + + * **Do not restrict contributors.** If your company requires + employees or contractors to sign non-compete agreements, those + agreements must not prevent people from participating in the BA or + contributing to related projects. + + This does not mean that all non-compete agreements are incompatible + with this code of conduct. For example, a company may restrict an + employee's ability to solicit the company's customers. However, an + agreement must not block any form of technical or social + participation in BA activities, including but not limited to the + implementation of particular features. + + The accumulation of experience and expertise in individual persons, + who are ultimately free to direct their energy and attention as + they decide, is one of the most important drivers of progress in + open source projects. A company that limits this freedom may hinder + the success of the BA's efforts. + + * **Do not use patents as offensive weapons.** If any BA participant + prevents the adoption or development of BA technologies by + asserting its patents, that undermines the purpose of the + coalition. The collaboration fostered by the BA cannot include + members who act to undermine its work. + + * **Practice responsible disclosure** for security vulnerabilities. + Use designated, non-public reporting channels to disclose technical + vulnerabilities, and give the project a reasonable period to + respond, remediate, and patch. [TODO: optionally include the + security vulnerability reporting URL here.] + + Vulnerability reporters may patch their company's own offerings, as + long as that patching does not significantly delay the reporting of + the vulnerability. Vulnerability information should never be used + for unilateral commercial advantage. Vendors may legitimately + compete on the speed and reliability with which they deploy + security fixes, but withholding vulnerability information damages + everyone in the long run by risking harm to the BA project's + reputation and to the security of all users. + + * **Respect the letter and spirit of open source practice.** While + there is not space to list here all possible aspects of standard + open source practice, some examples will help show what we mean: + + * Abide by all applicable open source license terms. Do not engage + in copyright violation or misattribution of any kind. + + * Do not claim others' ideas or designs as your own. + + * When others engage in publicly visible work (e.g., an upcoming + demo that is coordinated in a public issue tracker), do not + unilaterally announce early releases or early demonstrations of + that work ahead of their schedule in order to secure private + advantage (such as marketplace advantage) for yourself. + + The BA reserves the right to determine what constitutes good open + source practices and to take action as it deems appropriate to + encourage, and if necessary enforce, such practices. + +## Enforcement + +Instances of organizational behavior in violation of the OCoC may +be reported by contacting the Bytecode Alliance CoC team at +[report@bytecodealliance.org](mailto:report@bytecodealliance.org). The +CoC team will review and investigate all complaints, and will respond +in a way that it deems appropriate to the circumstances. The CoC team +is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of +an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be +posted separately. + +When the BA deems an organization in violation of this OCoC, the BA +will, at its sole discretion, determine what action to take. The BA +will decide what type, degree, and duration of corrective action is +needed, if any, before a violating organization can be considered for +membership (if it was not already a member) or can have its membership +reinstated (if it was a member and the BA canceled its membership due +to the violation). + +In practice, the BA's first approach will be to start a conversation, +with punitive enforcement used only as a last resort. Violations +often turn out to be unintentional and swiftly correctable with all +parties acting in good faith. |
