Do referrers get paid out of new members' £10 fees?

No. Paying a referrer out of a recruit's subscription would be a chain-recruitment pyramid scheme under the UK Trading Schemes Act 1996 and Trading Schemes Regulations 1997. Every member's £10 stays with The Dev Log. Members who reach 4+ active referrals unlock a Trusted Member badge and become eligible to apply for paid contributor work — payment is for work delivered, not for recruitment.

An independent member-funded broadcast and learning platform: ethics documentaries, an online classroom, a religious reform library, an elders-speak storytelling wall and a community feed. £10 per month via PayPal. Educational only — nothing here is legal, medical or financial advice.

Are any of the inventions in the registry granted patents?

No. The inventions registry at /inventions lists ideas, drafts and openly-published doctrines belonging to the community. Nothing on it has been granted by the UK Intellectual Property Office. Listing confers no monopoly, no licensing power and no advisory authority.

Peace Advocacy — The Dev Log

Peace advocacy on The Dev Log is a living practice: non-violence as a daily commitment, dialogue as the first response to conflict, and the recognition that peace is not the absence of difference but the presence of justice.

Principles

Non-violence — the refusal to use or endorse coercive force in any form
Dialogue — every conflict begins with listening, not argument
Justice — peace without justice is only silence; the conditions for conflict must be addressed
Witness — documenting harm is an act of peace; silence in the face of injustice is not neutrality
