Terms of Use

Open source with clear expectations.

New Loka is distributed under GPLv3. This page summarizes the practical expectations for use, contribution, and redistribution.

License

GPLv3 applies unless a contributor agreement says otherwise.

No warranty

The software is provided as-is, with no implied medical guarantees.

Respect the workflow

Use the tool in ways consistent with patient privacy and applicable regulations.

User Responsibilities

Use the tool with care and within the law.

New Loka is intended to support healthcare work, but it is still software. Users and deployers remain responsible for appropriate clinical judgment, regulatory compliance, and local policy.

Lawful use

Use the platform in ways that comply with the laws, rules, and policies that apply to your setting.

Data stewardship

Keep credentials safe, protect devices, and control access to sensitive records appropriately.

Care judgment

The app supports decisions; it does not replace clinical judgment or institutional process.

What To Expect From Us

Open source, clear boundaries, and future services with separate terms.

The project is GPLv3. That means code and modifications follow the license, while any hosted hospital services introduced later would be governed separately.

  • Transparent licensing for the open-source software.
  • No warranty and no promise that the software replaces clinical oversight.
  • Separate terms for any future hosted deployment or managed service.
  • Respect for contributions, attribution, and community maintenance norms.

Practical notes

License terms

GPLv3 applies to the software unless a specific component says otherwise.

No medical warranty

Software behavior cannot guarantee clinical outcome or correctness in every case.

Contribution rights

By contributing, users should expect the project to review and reuse work within the open-source model.

Future hosting

If hosting becomes part of the offering, the service terms will be explicit and separate.
