    I was wondering if development of the addressable package is open source (or going to be open sourced) ?
    I was looking for the GitHub repo under the Unity organization but could not find one.

    There is no public repo but after a certain Unity version the code is in your project `Library/PackageCache` folder. You could look and edit everything there and it take effect immediately. However I have seen UT talking about making the repo public and allow us to send PR.

    It's not on github, but the source is available to you. I'm not sure if I had to adjust settings to get this, but in your project view, below (not inside) Assets is Packages. From within that, you can right click on any package and see it in explorer/finder. That'll have the full source and the license file. I'm no lawyer, so I don't know what may or may not legally count as "open source", but I believe the license says you can copy our code into your project to modify it if you need to.

    we do plan to be on a public repo at some point.

    Yes I know I have access to the source code, but was wondering whether I can submit PRs

    for now, not really. Once we make a public repo, then we'd love PRs. We'll be sure to announce it on the forums once we're there.

    Can I upload code to public github to easy access and inspect?
    I mean, will I break any policy?
