Fineract CN Codebase Intellectual Property (IP) Clearance Status

Description

Fineract CN is a cloud-native, microservice-based rewrite of Fineract. It also includes a UI. The microservices and their libraries and integration tests are Spring-based Java code spread across 33 code repositories. The UI is a single repository containing Angular-based JavaScript and Typescript. There is also a Selenium based test-suite for the UI in its own repository. The code was developed at the Mifos Initiative starting at the beginning of 2016, and at Kuelap since March 2017. Kuelap donated the code developed there to the Mifos Initiative. This rearchitecture was originally called Mifos I/O.
