Source code

The source code for this unique plugin is free and open source. We’d like to encourage as much TAK development as possible with our API and this is the best way. We make our money back on server sales.

It’s also in response to the many taxpayer funded attempts to re-imagine CloudRF over the years. We’re loading up the IP slugs with nasty lettuce to keep them away from the good stuff 😉
