RCF Protocol – Protect code from AI training while allowing visibility

Summary: RCF Protocol is a licensing framework that controls AI training use of code by marking protection levels at the block level and providing cryptographic audits to prove authorship. It enables visibility for audits while restricting AI replication.

What it does

It uses semantic markers to label code blocks with different protection levels and offers CLI tools to initialize, scan, and audit code with tamper-evident SHA-256 snapshots and timestamps.

Who it's for

Security researchers and developers who want their code auditable but protected from AI training.

Why it matters

It addresses the gap in traditional licenses by preventing unauthorized AI training on visible code.
