Licensing is [BSD 3-Clause](LICENSE.txt).\n\nThe [Cromwell documentation has a dedicated site](https://cromwell.readthedocs.io/en/stable).\n\nFirst time to Cromwell? Get started with [Tutorials](https://cromwell.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorials/FiveMinuteIntro/).\n\n### Community\n\nThinking about contributing to Cromwell? Get started by reading our [Contributor Guide](CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\nCromwell has a growing ecosystem of community-backed projects to make your experience even better! Check out our [Ecosystem](https://cromwell.readthedocs.io/en/stable/Ecosystem/) page to learn more.\n\nTalk to us:\n- [Join the Cromwell Slack workspace](https://join.slack.com/t/cromwellhq/shared_invite/zt-dxmmrtye-JHxwKE53rfKE_ZWdOHIB4g) to discuss the Cromwell workflow engine.\n- [Join the OpenWDL Slack workspace](https://join.slack.com/t/openwdl/shared_invite/zt-ctmj4mhf-cFBNxIiZYs6SY9HgM9UAVw) to discuss the evolution of the WDL language itself.\n    - More information about WDL is available in [that project\u0027s repository](https://github.com/openwdl/wdl).  \n\n### Capabilities and roadmap\n\nMany users today run their WDL workflows in [Terra](https://support.terra.bio/hc/en-us/articles/360036379771-Get-started-running-workflows), a managed bioinformatics platform with built-in Cromwell support.\n\nUsers with specialized needs who wish to install and maintain their own Cromwell instances can [download](https://github.com/broadinstitute/cromwell/releases) a JAR or Docker image. The development team accepts reproducible bug reports from self-managed instances, but cannot provide direct support.\n\nCromwell uses [modular backends](https://cromwell.readthedocs.io/en/stable/backends/Backends/) to support different cloud vendors. The team is currently developing for AWS Batc",
