Earthly Switches to Open-source

Earthly, a company focused on improving build processes and becoming a standard CI/CD framework, has decided to transition from a source-available license to an open-source license, specifically the Mozilla Public License Version 2.0. Initially, Earthly adopted the Business Source License (BSL) to safeguard against competitors and establish a sustainable business model, but feedback from users and industry leaders highlighted the limitations of such a restrictive license in fostering community growth and integration. The decision to open-source Earthly is driven by a desire to enhance developer experience, encourage contributions, and establish Earthly as a unifying standard in the CI/CD space. This move is expected to benefit both the community and the company, aligning with Earthly's long-term vision for innovation and growth while maintaining proprietary components for its commercialization strategy.
