<div>Yes, all the software that we run on labs should be
open source (including tools). If there is a situation
that justifies running proprietary software, then we can
discuss that with the Labs admins to see if it's legal
and appropriate. There is a strong preference to avoid
exceptions, as open source code will be easier to run
and maintain long term.</div>

<br>
It's not a strict requirement in the TOU that software is
publicly available. But non-public code may not be
appropriate for a few practical and policy reasons that Tim
and Ryan explained well.<br clear="all">

page updated by an administrator?<br>

<br>
It hasn't been updated yet. I'd like it to be clearer for our
developers...<br>
