Artistic License

The Raku core development teams release the specification, compilers, and documentation they develop under the Artistic 2.0 license.

This is the same license established by Perl and most CPAN modules and has been adopted by almost all OS distributions.

The broader development community is of course not required to use this license, but there is a large uptake among the community.

Raku Steering Council (RSC)

The Steering Council is a 7-person committee with many responsibilities, including maintaining the quality and stability of the Raku language, its compilers, and its ecosystem. Also to make contributing and learning Raku as accessible, inclusive, and sustainable as possible.

The Problem Solving repository contains issues that impact Raku which require consensus to resolve. The RSC is responsible for guiding any deadlocked issues to completion.
