Congrats on the launch. For anyone looking for an open source community project without business aspirations in a much simpler and easier to audit format, have a look at SecureStore. It's encrypted and versioned secrets stored alongside your code in your git repo. Cross-language, cross-platform, with native libraries for different languages/frameworks. Useable by teams big and small, up until the point you want a sta…
Infisical's goal is to provide the main functionality to the community for free - only enterprise-level features will be paid. Frankly speaking, I don't believe in open-source projects without paid components (and this can be in different ways) - there have been so many examples of rug pulls for full FOSS just because maintainers are tired of running the project and there is no money to support it.
Can you clarify your scope here? I mean, there are thousands of of active projects out there maintained by their creators or communities and are not monetized. They contribute to open source because they get enjoyment from working on the project, participating in a community around it, or derive meaning from putting something nifty into the world.
Making money in relation to open source projects is not a new idea, but the notion that every good idea needs to be monetized certainly is pretty recent.
