Open Source Licenses
Last updated: June 25, 2026
Contral IDE, the Contral VS Code extension, and the website at contral.ai are proprietary, closed-source software owned by Contral AI. We do not publish their source code. This page credits the third-party open source libraries that we depend on and the licenses under which we use them.
About Contral
Contral IDE is a fork of Eclipse Theia, the open-source IDE platform. We use Theia's editor shell, extension system, workspace, terminal, and language-server infrastructure as our foundation, and we comply with the terms of the EPL 2.0 / GPL 2.0 with Classpath Exception licenses Theia ships under. Our additions on top of Theia — the teaching engine, the agent modes, the Java curriculum, the website, and the backend — are proprietary and closed source. We are not currently accepting external pull requests and there is no public source repository for the parts of Contral that we authored.
