I have been working on this for my own use until recently, when I shared with the rest of the team, and we thought it would be nice to let the world see it.

I have been interested in autonomous code development for quite some time (at least since March/April 2025) - and summer '25 is when I felt the models were good enough to be pushed to autonomy.

I wrote a bit about it[0], and sgai is the incarnation of my take on AI autonomous coding.

sgai is not even v0 yet, a lot of work to be done to improve its implementation - but I think it should be usable enough for those willing to give it a try.

Doesn't that kind of conflict with the "including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software" part of regular MIT, which your custom license also includes for some reason?

I think you might be better of with just not trying to do it "kind of open source but also not" and just say "Copyright 2026 Sandgarden.com" or whatever, instead of the mix of proprietary and open source. Then you get 100% "full control" over what people can do with the source, and don't have to worry about anything when it comes to licensing :)

Is this already your daily driver for coding projects?
