Dev Tools with Free for Open Source Plans

Github doesn&#x27;t make the distinction between OS or not. It&#x27;s free if the repository is public, that is not the same thing as being open source.<p>The codeclimate link goes to a signup page, not an open source project information page.<p>jClarity says &quot;So we offer a free license for use on your <i>non-commercial</i> Open Source projects&quot;. That&#x27;s a interesting and hard to define restriction.<p>Lighthouse says &quot;Create as many Open Source Projects as you wish on any plan&quot;. That&#x27;s not saying there is a free plan for open source projects, there are no free plans in their case.

To add to your devtools list as you asked in your article :<p>OAuth.io &quot;OAuth-as-a-service&quot; is also free for open source projects, by using directly the open source daemon oauthd for 80+ providers <a href="https://github.com/oauth-io/oauthd" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;oauth-io&#x2F;oauthd</a><p>disclosure : I work for OAuth.io

Travis CI is as free for Open Source as Github is; Notably, it also makes some of the other tools even sweeter (Like Code Climate, Sauce Labs, Github itself).<p>It&#x27;s a little bit ironic that we can&#x27;t alter the blog post about open source directly through comments, and instead have been asked to use Hacker News.

Moqups[1], our HTML5 based mockup&#x2F;wireframing app, is completely free for education, non profit and open source projects. To our great surprise, we get a fairly large amount of requests each week from many universities and from open source developers. Aaaand we&#x27;re happy to fulfill all of them :-)<p>[1] <a href="https://moqups.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;moqups.com</a>

You also forgot LiveCode, a RAD application that uses a variant of AppleScript to do quick UI and function prototyping for cross-platform open-source applications.<p><a href="http://livecode.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;livecode.com&#x2F;</a>

Red Gate also offers free licenses for its products: <a href="http://reflectorblog.red-gate.com/2013/07/open-source/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;reflectorblog.red-gate.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;07&#x2F;open-source&#x2F;</a>

I haven&#x27;t used them (yet, I&#x27;m planning on it) but Bugsense is free for OS.<p><a href="http://www.bugsense.com/pricing" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bugsense.com&#x2F;pricing</a>

Gratis isn&#x27;t enough. Free software requires free tools:<p><a href="http://mako.cc/writing/hill-free_tools.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mako.cc&#x2F;writing&#x2F;hill-free_tools.html</a><p>A great example of truly free code hosting, in the only sense of &quot;free&quot; that actually matters, is Rhodecode. Have them host it for you:<p><a href="https://rhodecode.com/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rhodecode.com&#x2F;</a><p>Or host it yourself, no possibility of vendor lock-in:<p><a href="https://rhodecode.com/docs/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rhodecode.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;</a><p>And it does both git and hg. We need more of this.

Disclosure: I work for Excelsior.<p>Excelsior JET (<a href="http://www.excelsiorjet.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.excelsiorjet.com</a>), a Java SE JVM with a native code compiler and deployment toolkit, is free for non-commercial use. Note that &quot;non-commercial&quot; != &quot;open source&quot;, both ways: there is commercial open-source and closed-source freeware.<p><a href="http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jetfree.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.excelsior-usa.com&#x2F;jetfree.html</a>
