Harness ❤️ Open Source
As supporters of the open source community, we believe it is important to be clear when our software is free and open source, and when it isn’t. Below is a breakdown of the licensing of our free and open source software (FOSS) and our free and source-available software.
Free and Open
We offer four free CI and CD software options: 1) Harness CI Community Edition (powered by Drone); 2) Harness CI Team Edition, (powered by Drone); and Harness CD Community Edition. All of these are free for you to download, view, modify and run without paying license fees.

Benefits Of Open Source And Source-Available Code
For Engineers
You now have frictionless access to a globally-adopted and category-leading CI/CD platform, one with AI-powered intelligence that automates deployments and rollbacks. Get back your nights and weekends for more important things than fighting toil. And the best part, you can collaborate with a global community of users just like you.
Open Licenses
The open and accessible licenses give you the right to use, modify and distribute the code, with straightforward limits on using our code to compete with us. We chose this approach to empower our users with elements that they love from licenses like Apache that give them free and open access to the code, while assuring Harness is able to continue to provide industry-leading enterprise support to our customers.
For Enterprise
As an enterprise user, you can collaborate with our engineering and product teams around new designs. You can submit pull requests while simultaneously leveraging open source-code access.
