https://caddyserver.com/download https://caddyserver.com/download not once mentions the fact that the server is open source or could be compiled from source for free. The entire page is structured to give the impression that commercial uses require a paid license. Other servers like nginx have separate websites for the open source and paid versions (http://nginx.org/ http://nginx.org/ open source, https://www.nginx.com/ https://www.nginx.com/ plus)

- TAForObvReasons 9y agoGithub != open source. There are plenty of proprietary software products like HighCharts that distribute with GitHub and have a clear commercial license (https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts/ https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts/) -- merely saying GitHub is not enough to communicate the license terms.
- mholt 9y agoWe communicate the license terms by using the license (and the website, and the FAQ, and the Terms of Service, etc), not the link to GitHub. :) I just realized the GitHub link goes away on mobile (for lack of horizontal space) but, there are many other places on the website where it mentions that the project is open source.
