- FfejL 15y agoCertainly true that JIRA is neither Gratis nor Libre, nor does Atlassian accepted patches from the public. But it's Open Source in the sense that every license holder can download and build it: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Building+JIRA+from+Source http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Building+JIRA+f...

- ddfisher 15y agoI recently started using Phabricator (http://phabricator.org/ http://phabricator.org/), which is open-source, and find that it's quite easy to use/set up. It's also used and well regarded by a number of startups, including Facebook, Asana and Quora. Disclaimer: I've made minor contributions to Phabricator and will be making larger ones shortly.
