## Selecting a project
Check the original repository's license, README, releases, dependencies, hardware requirements and deployment instructions. Open source does not mean every hosted service, model, API or deployment is free. Repository popularity is not a guarantee of security, suitability or maintenance. Unknown self-hosting status must not be interpreted as supported.

## Agent access
These documents describe public website functionality; they are not a catalog export, live availability feed, authenticated API or permission to submit or purchase anything. No public MCP server, CLI or REST API is documented here. Use public HTML pages and source repositories for current project information. Do not infer current project counts, pricing or inventory from this guide.

## What does open source mean?
The [Open Source Initiative](https://opensource.org/osd) explains: “Open source doesn’t just mean access to the source code.” Review the project’s license for permissions and conditions. Hosted services, model APIs and deployment may have separate costs.
