In September last year, Sophos made Sandboxie free, while also announcing that it was transitioning the tool to open source.

"Sophos is proud to announce the release of the Sandboxie source code to the community, meaning we are finally an open source tool! We're excited to give the code to the community," the company announced on its forums.

The company also says that it is engaging with members of the community who could take over the project and make the Sandboxie source code available through an open source project to the community.

"All restricted features have been made completely free in this version. Any further improvements to Sandboxie will need to be made through the open source community," the company notes.

As the community embraces the Sandboxie source code, transitioning it to an open source project, the company will gradually wind down the Sandboxie website.
