It is Cfengine's policy not to pursue software patents
for any innovations developed by our company. Our work at Cfengine
is based on frontier research, and we believe in securing our ideas for everyone
through their publication in an open forum.

At Cfengine, competitive advantage lies in leading the way, not in blocking it for others.
Cfengine's software stems from a noble tradition of scientific inquiry, the best quality assurance
framework there is. This is the spirit in which we aim to continue.
