Who owns Moltbot?

Moltbot, now known as OpenClaw, is released as open-source software under the MIT license, which means no single company "owns" it in the proprietary sense, though the original author retains copyright. The core project is credited to developer Peter Steinberger, who started the codebase and is often referenced as its creator and primary maintainer. Because of the MIT license, anyone can fork, modify, or self-host Moltbot/OpenClaw, provided they respect the license terms. In practice, its evolution is shaped by Steinberger plus a wider community of contributors, rather than a traditional corporate product owner.
