cFS Gov Release

[temenushka]

On the cFS webpage (https://etd.gsfc.nasa.gov/capabilities/core-flight-system) a so called cFS Gov release is announced for summer of 2025. What will be the difference of that release to the Draco cFS release and will it also be open source?

I just found the answer to my question in the github cFS repository, where the following is stated:
…
A Government-use (Distro C) version of cFS with features for a full flight mission is available through a Software User Agreement. For more information about government version features or to explore partnerships, please contact the cFS team.

Hoping this is the official answer ; as I too would like to see the Draco cFS release.

They are two separate things. We are working to get Draco officially released open source. Simultaneously, we are developing a Government-use version of cFS that contains features that cannot be released open source (it will be a superset of the open source capability).

And the Government-use version is only available to US Government customers ? Or is there a license option for US companies ?
