FlightAware is a proud user and supporter of open source software projects. Not only does FlightAware support open source projects that power FlightAware, but we actively release & maintain new open source projects that are public releases of software that FlightAware has developed in-house. FlightAware's code is released under the liberal New BSD license, which allows free use & distribution by all.
If you write an application in FlightXML, FlightAware's XML Flight Tracking API, please publish to Github and let us know so that we can link to your open source project that involves FlightAware.
