FreeRepublic runs on open source software.

Does it?

I see this at the bottom of the page:

That's the FR software itself. It runs on a Linux platform, using open source web software and open source database. That's my understanding anyway.

That’s just the custom forum software. FR uses open source web server software (NGINX now I believe, though I think it used to be Apache, also open source).
