This is kind-of neat too, at least in the near term: > In the coming weeks, we will relicense all of our source-available tools, including Tart, Vetu and Orchard under a more permissive license. We have also stopped charging licensing fees for them.

What software do you use to run your CI?

not op either, github actions, self hosted runner on bare metal with lxc containers for each runner. Cost savings are insane and the speed of latest amd epycs are miles ahead of the default ci instances on github and other places.
