Building Privacy Tools in the Open
We believe great developer tools should be built in the open, with transparency and community collaboration at their core. This philosophy guides how we're building modern privacy infrastructure.
Open Source Foundation
Consent Management (c15t) is built with a strong open source foundation:
- Core Platform: GNU3 licensed, ensuring your privacy tools remain free and open
- UI Components: Built on shadcn/ui, giving you complete customization control
- Server Components: Full Next.js app directory support for modern applications
- Cloud Platform: Optional managed service coming soon (while keeping core open source)
