According to Foresight News, Matter Labs founder and CEO Alxe G. tweeted that Matter Labs is an avid advocate of the values ​​described in libertarianism, the cypherpunk spirit, and the ZK creed. We reject the concept of "intellectual property". Everything we create is released to the public under a free open source license. Trademarks exist to protect users, not companies. All trademarks we register, including those related to ZK, are defensive to prevent dishonest actors from misleading customers and confusing their products and services with those provided by Matter Labs. The team contacted the Ethereum Foundation's legal team earlier and proposed to work together to create a legal framework for the use of "ZK" and similar important technical terms in the public domain.
