Important for website publishing & software usage: Not every tool is free or browser-based. Some require local installation, paid licences, student eligibility, or account registration. For example, FreeCAD and KiCad are completely open-source, whereas commercial CAD & simulation platforms (like SOLIDWORKS, Ansys, or MATLAB) have their own licensing terms and student editions.
