# Claude for Open Source — Application Package

**Program:** Claude for Open Source (Anthropic)
**Owner:** `jschwefel@coldboreballisticsllc.com`
**Classification:** Internal — Confidential
**Prepared:** 2026-06-12
**Status:** 🟢 Ready to apply — *was previously marked blocked; that premise is no longer true (see §2)*

## 1. Program Summary

| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| **Provider** | Anthropic |
| **Value** | ~6 months of Claude Max (20×) free (~$1,200 value) |
| **Nature** | A **Claude.ai consumer subscription** benefit — **not** API credits |
| **Application URL** | https://anthropic.com/open-source *(verify the live URL and eligibility rules at submission)* |
| **Spots** | Limited cohort (the handoff cited 10,000 total, launched Feb 2026 — confirm availability) |

> This benefit is a personal-productivity subsidy (Claude Max for the maintainer), distinct from the **Claude for Startups** API credits that fund product inference. Pursue both — they do not overlap.

## 2. Correction: This Program Is Not Blocked

The 2026-06-07 handoff doc marked this program **blocked** until a `.dope` SDK was published on GitHub under an MIT license. **That premise is stale.** CBB already has released open-source software on GitHub today:

| Repo (`ColdBoreBallistics` org) | Visibility | License | Latest release |
|---|---|---|---|
| `bt-bridge-broker` | Public | Apache-2.0 | v0.9.0 (2026-06-10) |
| `bt-bridge-agent-android` | Public | Apache-2.0 | v0.9.0 (2026-06-10) |
| `bt-bridge-templates` | Public | Apache-2.0 | v0.9.0 (2026-06-10) |
| `bt-bridge-agent-ios` | Public | Apache-2.0 | scaffolded (no release yet) |
| `dope-format` | Public | (format spec; license per repo) | not yet tagged |

The **BT Bridge** project — a two-tier broker plus mobile agents and a community template catalog for a BLE hardware-test harness — is genuine, released, Apache-2.0 open-source work under an identifiable maintainer (Jason Schwefel). It satisfies the spirit of an "open source maintainer" program **now**, independent of the `.dope` SDK roadmap.

### One open item to resolve before submitting

The handoff doc assumed an **MIT** requirement. CBB's published OSS is **Apache-2.0**. Apache-2.0 is an OSI-approved open-source license, so it should qualify for an "open source" program — but the specific license requirement, if any, is set by **Anthropic's live application terms, not by our internal doc.**

- [ ] **Confirm against the live form** whether the program requires a specific license (e.g., OSI-approved generally, or a named license). If it accepts OSI-approved licenses, Apache-2.0 BT Bridge qualifies as-is. Do **not** relicense anything to chase this ~$1,200 benefit without a separate, deliberate decision — the bt-bridge license choice (Apache-2.0) is intentional.

## 3. Qualifying Project — What to Submit

**Lead with BT Bridge** (released, Apache-2.0, public):

> BT Bridge is an open-source (Apache-2.0) toolkit for testing and bridging Bluetooth Low Energy hardware. It pairs a two-tier broker — an agent-facing TCP server and a REST/WebSocket client API with a template-rendering system and an on-demand template catalog — with native mobile agents (Android released; iOS in progress) and a community catalog of device/display/codec templates. Published under the ColdBoreBallistics GitHub organization; v0.9.0 released June 2026. Maintainer: Jason Schwefel.

**Secondary mention** (optional, if the form allows multiple projects): the public **`.dope` format specification** (`dope-format`) — an open file-format standard for precision rifle ballistic data.

**Maintainer / form facts:**

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Maintainer | Jason Schwefel |
| GitHub org | `ColdBoreBallistics` |
| Flagship OSS repo | `bt-bridge-broker` (Apache-2.0, v0.9.0) |
| Project family | `bt-bridge-broker`, `bt-bridge-agent-android`, `bt-bridge-agent-ios`, `bt-bridge-templates` |
| License | Apache-2.0 |
| First public release | 2026-06-10 |

## 4. Submission Checklist

- [ ] Verify the live program URL and current eligibility/availability at `anthropic.com/open-source`
- [ ] **Resolve the license question** (§2) against the live terms — do not relicense to qualify
- [ ] Confirm the maintainer/identity requirement is satisfied (Jason as named maintainer; README attribution as needed)
- [ ] Submit, leading with BT Bridge as the qualifying released OSS
- [ ] Log submission date: ____________
- [ ] Log decision: ____________

## 5. Future Trigger (no longer the *only* path)

The original `.dope` SDK trigger is now a **secondary, additive** qualifier rather than a blocker:

- [ ] `.dope` SDK published to GitHub *(if/when built — Brief #06)*
- [ ] License confirmed appropriate for the program
- [ ] README documents the maintainer
- [ ] At least one language published (Python preferred first)

If BT Bridge is sufficient for the program now, this trigger becomes moot for eligibility — it only adds a second qualifying project.
