  Is it claiming anywhere to be open source? I've heard an interview with the creators and they seemed pretty open about which aspects where open source and which aspects where shut down? I could be missing something from their branding but I'd rather see projects with non-open source licenses from the beginning that bait-and-switch license change when they want to become profitable. (Although, I'd much rather just see a fully open source project)

    Sure. I wasn't really trying to insinuate anything, although I think in a more-ideal world the licensing arrangements of all projects would be in a prominent place, especially if they use a "Star us on GitHub" call-to-action. It's a vital part of evaluating this sort of thing.

    > Is it claiming anywhere to be open source? They have a page on their website where they claim to be "an open source company" (https://surrealdb.com/opensource https://surrealdb.com/opensource)

      Certainly debatable copy, but in total fairness that page is a list of actually-Open-Source licensed projects.

  It would indeed be better to state that clearly, then I don’t have to check it (our company has a policy which won’t get this passed).
