Agreed. For the open core model to work in practice, there needs to be clarity in what’s open and what’s off the table. The problem is that open core appears to be, most of the time, not a serious commitment. At least I don’t trust “self-hostable” at face value anymore if there’s a company behind it. In the worst case, it’s bait and switch. There’s still value-add in eg source-available products. So there’s a meaningful spectrum of openness, assuming the decision makers are willing to explain their commitment upfront and stand by it.
