Which plugins are freely available?

Here [Plugin directory | Discourse - Civilized Discussion](https://www.discourse.org/plugins) they look available only for paid hosting plans.  
Or please correct me.

In particular, I’d like to install `solved` plugin.

> Great answer? Solved allows users to accept solutions to their topics.

Yep, and if you want to get technical, there is usually a licence within each Plugin.

The filename is usually `Licence.txt` or similar, is placed in the root directory of the plugin code and it will explain the terms, e.g.: [discourse-locations/LICENSE.txt at main · merefield/discourse-locations · GitHub](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-locations/blob/master/LICENSE.txt)

Almost always, the licence is a standard one.

Here’s a good guide on the more popular Licences: [Which License to Use for Open Source Projects?](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-licenses-explained/)

The details of these licences can be important, especially if you wish to use a plugin for commercial purposes (many licences permit that, btw).
