Frequently asked questions

Is open-source software safe for business use? expand_more

Yes, when it is chosen and maintained carefully. We assess a project's activity, maintainers, security history and licence before adopting it, keep dependencies patched, scan for known vulnerabilities and can produce a software bill of materials. Widely used open-source projects are often reviewed by more engineers than comparable proprietary software.

Which open-source licences are safe for commercial products? expand_more

Permissive licences such as MIT, Apache 2.0 and BSD are generally safe for commercial and closed-source products, provided you keep the attribution notices. Copyleft licences such as GPL and AGPL can require you to release your own source code in some situations. We audit the licences in your dependencies and flag risks, but final legal decisions belong with your lawyer.

Can you customise or extend an existing open-source platform? expand_more

Yes. We build plugins, modules and integrations for open-source platforms and, where possible, keep customisations separate from the core so upgrades stay simple. When a fix belongs upstream, we can contribute it back to the project, which reduces the long-term cost of maintaining your own fork.

Who owns the code you build on open-source components? expand_more

You own all the custom code and IP we write for you, and we sign an NDA before kickoff. Open-source components remain under their original licences, which grant you usage rights subject to their terms. We document every third-party component and licence so your ownership position is clear for investors, audits or an acquisition.

How much does open-source development cost? expand_more

Open-source software has no licence fees, but building on it still takes engineering time. The main drivers are customisation depth, integrations, hosting, security hardening and ongoing upgrades. PixoBots quotes after a discovery call and prices by milestone. Total cost is often lower than proprietary alternatives, though support and maintenance still need a budget.
