Interesting that this uses mongodb[1] - doesn't that mean the service is open under the mongodb license? Or does the managed service not use mongodb? Or did they (mongodb) go back to a more sane license? Or is the infisical Mongo image based off a fork? [1] https://github.com/Infisical/infisical/blob/main/docker-comp...

What's the concern there? https://infisical.com/docs/contributing/overview#licensing emphasizes "Any third party components incorporated into our code are licensed under the original license provided by the applicable component owner."

#107Does anyone have suggestions for a truly free-as-in-freedom and open source secrets manager? I'm so tired of seeing these quasi-open source products that dual-license their source code and lock essential features like SSO behind an enterprise paywall. Every one of these VC-funded startups always eventually goes down the drain as their backers seek to recoup these investment dollars.
