I know for a fact that your competition is using your code, even where they've built a differentiated service. e.g. Embrace is using Sentry Symbolicator. Having built my own symbolicator before yours existed, that's easily months of work that requires highly specialized knowledge. Like maybe a few dozen developers on the planet could write that.
I know you get a lot of flack over BUSL, but I'm not sure folks appreciate just how much of Sentry is open source and how much you're giving away, some of it of very high value almost exclusively to your competition. I mean who but a Sentry competitor would need your symbolicator? No one.
Meanwhile looking at https://github.com/getsentry/symbolicator/graphs/contributors https://github.com/getsentry/symbolicator/graphs/contributor... I'm not seeing what looks like too many, if any, outside contributions.
