Read the full announcement at https://skip.dev/blog/skip-is-free/.

For current Skip users, nothing changes for your current projects or setup. Updating to Skip 1.7.0 will simply result in Skip no longer checking for a license key. Everything else should remain completely as before.

All of Skip's core and integration frameworks have always been open source. With this new development, two new repositories have been opened up:

• skipstone: this is the source for the skip tool itself, both the CLI and the binary used by the skip Xcode/SwiftPM build plugin.
• skip.dev: this is the source to the new https://skip.dev home for the Skip documentation. We will be evolving this over time to add more examples, recipes, community showcases, and sponsor highlights.

Contributions to both these projects — as well as any of our other modules — are eagerly welcomed!

We'd like to thank our loyal users to helping us get to a point where we are confident enough in Skip's future that we can finally make this leap. Please do visit the Sponsors page to see how you or your organization can help ensure that Skip continues to thrive and grow!
