Using Keybase as a support platform for proprietary software.

carlosdelfino commented 2 years ago

I'm developing software that needs to authenticate documents and people, I'd like to use the Keybase API and I've already started reading it.

My doubts boil down to the following:

What is the Keybase lifetime, and if it stops being developed, how will I become dependent on it?
Is it allowed to use Keybase on proprietary software? what is the cost to use the API? and if it's an opensource software that has sponsors, would there be costs?
Are there restrictions on use in religious institutions?
What's the best way to start developing a client that uses the Keybase API?

The Issue addresses a very relevant issue for my #19898 PDF signatures project.

Hi @carlosdelfino

I actually think you'll find answers to some of those questions by using Keybase itself and joining the Keybasefriends team and chat with others, I'm sure someone there will have attempted integration with another project.
