CometBFT has a permissive file on record. That is not a cleared export. Non-commercial or demo use does not remove the licence duty. When in doubt, link — do not copy.
Use
- A known-validator consensus component, read with its assumptions
Do not use for
- An open membership proof-of-work design
- A claim of instant finality beyond the protocol
Risks
- Safety depends on the validator assumption.
- A quorum you control is an operator, not a public network.
Reviews required
- Who can halt the chain
