Funny thing is that its powered by Auth0. Its funny that Ory is asking for the HAR file

Could you clarify what OpenAI actually uses Ory for? Their main login page is powered by Auth0

This is cool!

Can checkout SuperTokens which is also open source and self hostable but not sure if its worth it for now.

Have you seen open source authentication products like SuperTokens or Keycloak?

Alternatively, you could use framework specific authentication libraries like nextjs or Devise (Ruby)

Chiming in here as the cofounder of an 'open core' company:

This obviously wasnt handled as well as it could have been.

On the fundamental issue of building EE features: If 100% of the code was open source, there would be less incentive for them to continue to maintain, update, upgrade the product. The EE features ensures that there is an incentive for them to continue to work on this project. Infact, the community _should_ want project maintainers to be compensated.

As someone else said, the project is open source, you can always fork and add any specific feature you want. It comes down to how useful is the actual open source project. If it is very limited in features and functioning, then yes - it is against the spirit of the open source. But if its a fully usable, functioning product (not for all but atleast some number of usecases), then it has created value which it is not capturing for itself - which is a net good for society and the industry.

Supertokens - open source user authentication.

Our UI is native to your website (no redirects) and the auth logic sits within your backend api layer - giving you a lot more control

Im a OSS founder.

This is a balanced article and I definitely agree about being clear on what constitutes competition. A few questions:

1. Does Gitlab see much competition from hyperscale providers like AWS?

2. Given that Gitlab has a thicker proprietary crust and a relatively smaller open source core (compared to hashi), is Gitlab more insulated from these types of issues?

The metric to measure how expensive equity is sounds flawed. Expected earnings divided by share price is not indicative of actual equity returns - especially over 1 year?

More often than not, making money and making good software are complimentary outcomes. Its difficult to do the former without the latter.

Infisical is an open core business model. While there is a proprietary crust, the core is truly open source.

Disclaimer: I run an open core venture

Most of the comments on this thread make it appear that everyone will be affected by this change. The vast majority wont be affected at all.

This only affects people who are directly competing with hashicorp using hashicorps code. That sounds like a reasonable thing to want to prohibit.

Why should hashicorp have to spend tens of millions on product development only for a competitor to spend zero but be able to offer the same product? That sounds like a net negative for the whole industry as it disincentivizes R&D
