Any projects which want to use Hush code from now on will need to be licensed as
GPLv3 or we will send the lawyers: https://www.softwarefreedom.org/
Notably, Komodo (KMD) is licensed as GPLv2 and is no longer compatible to receive
code changes, without causing legal issues. MIT projects, such as Zcash, also cannot pull
in changes from the Hush Full Node without permission from The Hush Developers,
which may in some circumstances grant an MIT license on a case-by-case basis.
We now have our halving schedule implemented until the BR goes to zero.
The data was calculated via two new scripts which are in ./contrib :

These show that the block subsidy for miners goes to 0 at the 31st halving
and that the Founders Reward AKA Dev Tax goes to 0 at the 27th halving. There
is also some current KMD internals code that we inherited that prevents
the FR from being less than 10000, so that code would currently set our FR
to 0 at the 14th halving and lead less HUSH being mined than the planned 21M and
even a bit less than the amount under 21M that normally happens, such as in BTC.
We have some time to deal with the bug, since halving 14 is in about 52 years.
I wrote this simple port scanner in 5 minutes to verify if 3rd party Hush notary seeds
from https://github.com/KomodoPlatform/dPoW/blob/master/iguana/3rd_party
were running properly.
Currently they are all down.
