NOFX, an open-source AI trading operating system, stated that it operates under the AGPL license and has not relinquished control of its code. While it grants others the right to use and distribute the code, it still adheres to fundamental principles such as attribution and transparent sharing. Tinkle, a core contributor to NOFX, previously disclosed on the X platform that a test network operated by the ChainOpera AI Foundation directly deployed a version of the code he released a month prior. The UI only changed the logo and its placement; the code itself remained unchanged, even retaining NOFX's brand logo, Nofx. The homepage even had identical text. Throughout this process, the team never communicated or contacted NOFX.
