After the release of Uniswap v2 in May 2020, several competitors for the DEX emerged, forking its codebase, launching new incentives, and their own governance model to attract users. Sushiswap is perhaps the most important.<\/p>\n
To prevent something similar, the third iteration of the automated market maker will be released with a Business Source License 1.1. The license will expire after two years unless the community decides to accelerate its expiration. It will then adopt a GPL 2.0 open-source license.<\/p>\n
With a tentative deployment date of May 5<\/a>, General Counsel for Compound Finance, Jake Chervisnsky, believes it is possible that Uniswap v3 could prevent further forks, for a trade-off.<\/p>\n 1\/ One interesting piece of Uniswap v3 is its use of Business Source License (BSL) 1.1, which restricts production use for two years.<\/p>\n I see people asking if @Uniswap<\/a> can really use BSL 1.1 against v3 forks. Answer: yes, mostly, at a cost.<\/p>\n The DeFi + copyright situation \ud83d\udc47 pic.twitter.com\/KYQZTl58Ht<\/a><\/p>\n — Jake Chervinsky (@jchervinsky) March 24, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
