Data sources & licences

Last updated 19 October 2026 · draft

Software

Tripella uses many open-source libraries, nearly all under permissive licences (MIT, ISC, BSD or Apache-2.0) — among them Next.js, React, Leaflet, Better Auth, Drizzle, FullCalendar, Radix UI, Lucide icons and Luxon. These have other terms worth knowing:
