  • Darklang has open-sourced all repositories under the Apache License 2.0.
  • Initially, Darklang was source-available due to its unique hosted-only architecture and business model.
  • Three key shifts led to the decision to open source: product maturity, local-first development, and new business opportunities.
  • Open source aligns with Darklang's philosophy of democratizing programming and ensures platform persistence.
  • Darklang now supports local development via CLI and deployment to various environments.
  • Open questions remain about licensing in the Darklang ecosystem, especially concerning package management.
