Source available

Combine filters →

Source available means anyone can read the code, and often run and modify it, but the license adds conditions that open-source licenses do not, such as a fee for commercial or production use, a revenue threshold, or a ban on offering it as a competing hosted service. Some such licenses convert to open source after a set period. A record holds this value when the published source carries a license of this kind, such as the Business Source License, the Elastic License or a vendor’s own terms. Craft CMS and Kirby are examples.

13 projects are source available, listed alphabetically. Mostly databases and caches, content management systems and Headless CMSs, of 8 categories in all. 13 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way. Counts only projects with momentum; the full list has the rest.

Which of these is best?

We don't know. A portfolio, a shop and a documentation site need different things from their software, and so does a team of one against an agency. Nobody pays to be listed here and the order is alphabetical.
