The nicest thing about Cloud9 is being open source you can install it on your own hardware so those VMs don't have to be remote.

Unless something has changed since last year, it is not truly "open source" if you're going by the Open Source Initiative's definition of "open source".

Evidently there are a number of restrictions placed on the source code that prevent this from being the case. There was a Reddit discussion about it at the time:

It is most definitely open source it is just not unconditional, maybe that will change now.
