Free Software / Software Libre

Free software projects

We participate in different free software projects.

Derafu ORG

Collection of free software for the creation of libraries and web applications.

LibreDTE

LibreDTE is a free software for the generation of electronic tax documents (DTE) in Chile.

I decided to migrate several projects to the MIT license, which is more permissive than the AGPL, so that my software can be used in more projects. My goal is that the software I create is accessible to more projects and people.
