Kiln open-source FAQ

What does open-source mean?

Open source refers to software or projects whose source code is made available for anyone to view, modify, and distribute. This approach allows developers to collaborate, improve, and customize the software according to their needs. Open source projects often encourage community participation, transparency, and innovation by fostering a collaborative environment where anyone can contribute to the development and improvement of the software. It aligns with Kiln's philosophy to contribute to the ecosystem by making certain tools accessible to everyone.

What is the difference between open-source and source-available tools?

The main difference between open-source and source-available tools lies in the level of access and freedom provided to users. For instance Minitel is source-available which means that its usage rights are more restricted compared to open-source software.

Who developed these tools?

These tools were created by some members of our Software and Infrastructure team at Kiln, who refer to themselves as Nakamotards.
