About LegionForge
A small, opinionated ecosystem of open-source AI software.
Mission
Sovereign AI for Everyone!
LegionForge is built around one bet: the future of consequential AI is local-first and security-native. Cloud agents are powerful but unauditable; open-source frameworks are auditable but unguarded. The interesting space is the intersection — software that gives you AI capabilities without giving up your sovereignty over the data, the keys, or the threat model.
Every project under the LegionForge GitHub org is open-source, runs on your hardware, and treats security as a foundation rather than a feature.
Founder
Who's behind it
LegionForge is built by John Paul "Jp" Cruz — a NetSuite professional by day, building sovereign AI infrastructure on nights and weekends.

License model
Open-source with a sustainable funding path
The main framework is AGPL-3.0 with a commercial license option. Personal use, open-source projects, and internal company use stay under AGPL for free. Companies that want to embed LegionForge in a proprietary product or run it as a paid network service without source disclosure can purchase a commercial license.
Guardian is MIT-licensed independently — the deliberate choice so it can drop into any agent framework regardless of that framework's license.
Most tools (dev-rig, mcp-probe, hermes-tool-test-suite, etc.) are MIT. Apps like Jeli and ADHD-OS follow the framework's AGPL.
