Best Free and Open Source Alternatives to Progress's Products - LinuxLinks
Progress provides a variety of software products covering data platforms, data connectivity, digital experience, devops, infrastructure management and operations, UI/UX tools, and secure file tools.

It’s open source software published under the Apache License 2.0. However, their other products are published under a proprietary license.
