What belongs in this category
Agents with publicly available, licensed source code — listed by verified repository identity, not by a license claim alone. A project describing itself as "open" and a project whose license actually permits what you intend to do with it are separate checks; see open-source vs. closed-source models for what the license terms typically differ on.
What to evaluate
- The actual license file, not a marketing description of "open" — permissive, copyleft, and source-available licenses grant very different rights.
- Repository activity: commit and release history, for whether it's still maintained.
- Whether weights, training data, or only inference code are open — these are frequently not the same for a given project.
