We the undersigned demand that Steem be made fully open source.

The condition in the Steem Licence which requires signed permission from Steemit Inc to fork must be removed. This condition is untenable for Steem long term.

If this condition is not removed by May 1st 2017, we will power down and leave the network. The Steem Network is nothing without people, without an ideological basis, and without the intellectual capital which is currently on the way out
