Every one of them is released as open source. The company&#8217;s revenue comes from professional and technical support, and from select premium capabilities, rather than from licensing access to the code.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For operators, this changes the shape of the relationship rather than just the price. Security teams can audit what they are deploying. Scaling doesn&#8217;t trigger a licence renegotiation. Interoperability can be verified against the published standard rather than taken on a vendor&#8217;s word. And if a commercial relationship ever ends, the network keeps running and the source is still there<\/span><\/p><h4 data-section-id=\"8xzwbn\" data-start=\"1803\" data-end=\"1824\"><strong>Quote from Celeo Arias, CEO and Founder<\/strong><\/h4><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-17923\" src=\"https:\/\/paicore.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Celeo-pose-with-award.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"340\" height=\"453\" data-wp-editing=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paicore.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Celeo-pose-with-award.webp 1200w, https:\/\/paicore.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Celeo-pose-with-award-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/paicore.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Celeo-pose-with-award-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/paicore.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Celeo-pose-with-award-1152x1536.webp 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Every company begins as a vision.
