"Being #opensource, free of cost and #free of ads was the point from the beginning. Chess players want build their own tools, and publish the code and the data to strengthen the chess ecosystem. This is what #Lichess is about. Chess software by the players, for the players. We don't have investors or shareholders, and we're a registered non-profit in France. Lichess can't use chess players, it can only be used by them."
