Is Cloud Application Programming(CAP) open source?

[woongkipark]

I have a question about SAP's Cloud Application Programming (CAP) model.

1.

Is CAP open source? What is CAP’s license?

If you look at the following blog( https://blogs.sap.com/2023/10/02/open-sourcing-cap-how-to-learn-more-or-get-involved/) , it is confusing because it explains CAP as if it was released as open source.

But I can't find any specific licensing information for CAP (even on Capire).

2.

Is it possible to install and operate CAP in a non-BTP environment (SAP BTP CF / SAP KYMA etc.)?

This is because I believe that if it is open source, it should be able to be used in general-purpose API development as well.

Please check CAP Runtime License?

I've already seen that post, but this blog post is very old (published in 2020 year). I saw another post saying the open source announcement for CAP was in 2022, so I wanted to see if something had changed recently.

There core parts of CAP are not Open Source but we're are open sourcing some of the peripherals here https://github.com/orgs/cap-js/repositories?type=all. But you might already have seen that as the repositories are linked from the mentioned blog article.

So, is CAP's goal not to make the core open source, but to make the surrounding ecosystem, plugins, and external resources open source?

I can't tell right now (because I am not the one deciding) but you can join the webinar that is linked in the article (actually in 5 minutes 😱).
