Get a Free License for your Open Source Project
Bitrock founders come from an open source background, and are contributors to projects such as Apache, Mono
and the Linux Documentation Project. Our goal is to make
both commercial and Open Source software easier to install and use in multiple platforms.
We believe our installers can greatly improve the adoption of Linux and Open Source software,
especially among end-users that come from a Windows background. In that spirit, we offer full-featured licenses to open source projects.
You can check out Mono or NPGSQL for examples of projects using our installers. Please contact us at info@bitrock.com if you are interested in using
our installers for your project
Requirements to apply for a free license:
- Your project must meet the
Open Source Initiative definition of Open Source.
- The license can only be used to build installers for your project.
- The license cannot be transferred or used for commercial purposes.
If you have a freely-distributable project that does not meet the OSI guidelines, such as certain games for Linux, please contact us as well.
Making our installer freely available to Open Source projects is one of the
ways we give back to the community. We have found that in return we get valuable feedback,
feature suggestions and bug reports from Open Source users, so it works out well
for everybody. In that respect we would like to thank the following individuals from
the community that have helped us with testing, suggestions and translations
for our installers: Alvaro Iradier, Alberto Diaz, Reiner Jung, Cheng-Lin Yang, Linux Master Jedi, Emmanuel Chauveau, Daniel C.,
Luis Filipe, Fernando Verdu Castillo, Harry Vennik, Arny, Rhoslyn Prys, Ullar Pajus, Janus Vidalis.
