EDG is open source

On September 30, 2026, the source code for EDG's C++ front end became publicly available, and The C++ Alliance took on the role of its nonprofit organization. The engine and the standards it follows remain unchanged, with professional upkeep and the ability for contributions. This transition from a steward change to an open-source approach allows for collaboration and improvements from the user community, maintenance team, and those funded by collective efforts.

The Fiscal Sponsorship Committee, chaired by John Spicer, oversees the process and includes volunteers from the EDG user community. EDG's source is now available on github.com/edgcpp, where contributions can be made through pull requests. Users can participate in discussions via the CppLang Slack channel, specifically in the #edgcpp channel.
