Why Support OCC?
Three reasons that speak for OCC.
OCC is digital commons — like Wikipedia for AI governance. Your support keeps public infrastructure free.
All transactions public on opencollective.com/occ and /transparency. No hidden funding.
Voting rights only through contribution (code, docs), never through money. Foundation-compliant.
