Overview

The captured pages do not describe SharpDevelop. They are the ICSharpCode GitHub organisation listing and GitHub's own pricing page. SharpDevelop is named only in two repository descriptions: AvalonEdit, the WPF-based text editor component used in SharpDevelop, and WpfDesigner, the WPF Designer from SharpDevelop. Both repositories are MIT-licensed.

Best for: Not determinable: the captured pages cover ICSharpCode's GitHub organisation, not SharpDevelop.
Pricing: No pricing for SharpDevelop is shown; the captured pricing page is GitHub's own plan pricing.
