Open Source ERP & Business Tools

  • Odoo Community Edition ( https://odoo-community.org/ )

The Odoo Community Edition is technically open-source, but it is NOT 100% FOSS by strict definitions, depending on how you interpret "FOSS."Detailed breakdown:What’s open-source (FOSS) about Odoo ‘Community Edition’:

  • The Community Edition is licensed under the LGPLv3 (Lesser General Public License).
  • The source code is freely available, and you can:
    • Download it.
    • Modify it.
    • Self-host it without restrictions.
    • Build custom modules on top of it.

It qualifies as free software under OSI and FSF guidelines.Limitations (why some say "NOT fully FOSS"):

  1. Split model:
    • The most advanced features (Studio, Helpdesk, Accounting, Marketing Automation, etc.) are only available in the ‘Enterprise Edition’, which is proprietary (commercial license).
  2. Closed-source Enterprise modules:
    • Enterprise modules are NOT open-source and require a commercial subscription.
  3. UI/UX differences:
    • Some key UX improvements (e.g., dashboards, themes, certain web views) are Enterprise-only.
  4. Dual licensing strategy:
    • While the framework (Odoo Core) is LGPL, some parts of the Odoo ecosystem are purposely left out of the Community Edition to drive Enterprise sales.
