Notices, non-affiliation, and licensing for the hbar.* research constellation.
“hbar” refers to ℏ — the reduced Planck constant, a fundamental quantity in physics (h / 2π), introduced by Paul Dirac around 1926. It is pronounced “h-bar” and written ℏ (Unicode U+210F). The hbar.* constellation of projects uses this symbol and name because the underlying research is about coherent systems, state evolution, and the mathematics of observation — domains where ℏ is a natural semantic anchor.
The name is descriptive of the research, not a commercial brand.
The hbar.* projects are not a cryptocurrency, token, digital asset, distributed ledger, blockchain project, or financial instrument of any kind. We do not issue, sell, distribute, custody, or trade any digital asset.
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any cryptocurrency project, token issuer, exchange, or blockchain network that may use a similar name or ticker symbol. Any resemblance between our use of the physics constant ℏ and a cryptocurrency ticker is coincidental and not a source of affiliation.
Code in the hbar.* constellation is open-source under per-repository licenses. The BrainFoundry node reference implementation is AGPL-3.0. Protocol specifications and whitepapers are Apache 2.0. Individual sub-systems may carry their own license — see each repository for details.
