From 35b1873f252fdc92cf8d5c5a983d42edf1018db5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "trukhin.com" Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 20:14:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs(roadmap): drop commercial wording The public roadmap described CloudRING as the owner's company with a paid tier and revenue sharing, while cloudring.org/about says the project does not sell anything and does not ask for or accept money. Remove the company aim, the P7 "The company" dimension (P8 becomes P7) and the monetization bullet; the Stewardship section keeps the IP and team items.
