What is the most maintained open source alternative to Trello?

Kan scores highest at 95/100, with 50 commits in the last 90 days, 5.6k GitHub stars and its latest release (v0.6.0) published 3 months ago. Wekan has the most raw commit activity at 9396 commits in 90 days.

Which Trello alternatives use a permissive licence?

3 of 6 are permissively licensed (MIT, Apache, BSD or similar): Wekan (MIT), Kanboard (MIT), Taiga (MPL-2.0). 2 use copyleft licences such as GPL or AGPL, which require you to publish changes if you distribute a modified version.

Which Trello alternatives run in Docker?

3 of 6 publish a Docker image or Compose file: Kan, Planka, Taiga. Docker support contributes 10 of the 100 available health points, because it is the clearest signal that self-hosting is a supported path rather than an afterthought.
