GoudDi Free World License v2.0Civic Enterprise Edition — GOLDA Global Framework
This License governs all use of GoudDi and GOLDA Global software, data services, civic contracts, and related materials. By creating an account, deploying a contract, using APIs, or interacting with GoudDi-compatible software, you agree to be bound by these terms and the applicable laws of your Free World jurisdiction.
Preamble
The GoudDi Free World License (GFWL) establishes the legal, ethical, and economic architecture for all actors operating within the GOLDA Framework — the Global Organization for Ledger Development and Accountability — and its civic monetary rail, GoudDi (Civic Digital Currency). This License affirms that money, governance, and technology converge toward Libertas · Aequitas · Fraternitas.
This Civic Enterprise Edition replaces charitable or purely governmental paradigms with a Civic Enterprise Model: a class of institution that lawfully pursues profit only through verifiable public value (profit-by-proof), never through speculation or coercion. The purpose is productive equity through proof, with outcomes that are measurable, auditable, and replicable across nations.
1. Institutional Foundation & Definitions
1.1 Civic Enterprise Custodian
GOLDA Global Inc. (“the Custodian”) is a for-profit civic enterprise organized under applicable commercial law, serving as the founding custodian of the GFWL standard and operator of the GoudDi framework. Its fiduciary duty is twofold: (a) sustain operations through lawful profit derived from verified civic services; (b) uphold the moral and technical integrity of the standard for all licensees.
1.2 Core Terms

1.3 Legal Character & Earning Principle
- The Custodian may enter contracts, hold assets, and distribute dividends only from verified revenue generated within GFWL-compliant activities.
