It is an interesting combination of open source yet paid.

But the price is "Contact us for a quote"

Can't they at least give a ballpark number of what the price is? Matlab and Mathematica are about $1000-3000 per year for commercial license, they aren't hiding their price.



Open Source refers to software that meets the Open Source Definition:

This software is "Source Available":

Author here: thanks for the feedback. I will add a price range soon. The reason why it is not there in the first place is because I am thinking about site-wide licenses, which are often quote-based (also for Mathematica). For universities site-wide licenses are common, but for industry maybe less so. For reference, a university site-wide license is about 6000 EUR per year at the moment.


6000 ... per month? Per Year? Lifelong?


I have updated the post. It's an annual site-wide license, so not per user.


This isn't open source software, it's source available. I don't see any claim on that page that it's open source, the page only says "source available" instead.


it's not open source
