# Contributing Boson Protocol is open source. That means that the code is permissively licensed so that anyone can see, copy, distribute, use and share the code. More than that - while it means that Boson Protocol follows the norms and values of open source culture - we're interested in not just creating code, but working on it collaboratively with others. Boson Protocol is being built by a community of developers. Contributors are first-order citizens of the Boson Protocol ecosystem, welcome! We are excited that you are reading this and interested in contributing to the project!” There are several ways to get involved in the Boson Protocol ecosystem. First, we encourage deep dives into the code, and welcome both pull requests and issues from anyone in the community. If you have a question, a bug report or a feature request, open an issue and share your thoughts. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
