Important legal context for using WAF++ content and code.
The content of this website and framework is prepared with the utmost care. No guarantee is given for completeness, accuracy, or currency. WAF++ does not replace individual legal or technical advice.
Responsibility for the content of external links rests solely with their operators. No legal violations were apparent at the time of linking.

Development, roadmap, and discussions happen publicly — issues, pull requests, discussions. Governance and structural decisions follow established open-source models, with a view to potential future CNCF incubation.
WAF++ now includes an eighth pillar — AI-assisted architecture reviews, autonomous remediation, and policy-aware agents for secure cloud operations.
