I think Figma stole the grid layout idea from penpot, but it’s common in software to do that

Penpot took it from CSS.

Exactly, we took it from CSS and we have said it multiple times. The audacity of Penpot was to actually do it and accept the consequences.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For now. Mattermost too used to be cheaper than Slack, and Gitlab too used to be cheaper than GitHub. I know the story, "look we did X, the open-source Y" and two years in you now have two versions, the free and the "enterprise" one with exclusive features.

That's the beauty of the open source, self-hosted option then, no? If they radically change pricing one day, pick up your ball and self-host without any limits.

No because they add limits to the self-hosted versions too. self-hosted Mattermost or Gitlab instances don’t have access to all the features. Prefect even removed basic features from the self-hosted version (webhooks) to force people to use their Cloud offering.
