Thank you for your interest in helping NuPIC improve and evolve. NuPIC was open-sourced by Numenta in June 2013. Numenta maintains and runs this code (with the help of the HTM community) to support ongoing research and development of HTM theory. We also create sample applications of HTM as showcased here.
