Many people also seem to think Atlassian Jira and Confluence are OSS when they're absolutely not.
- snvzz 1y agoThe vid is old and they made some promise to open source things later. I wonder if it ever happened. I did withhold my purchase back then just because I'd rather wait for open source than buy some device I cannot trust.

- stephen_g 1y agoAtlassian stuff never was, they do offer free licenses to use their cloud products to open source projects though - perhaps that's the confusion?
- pkaeding 1y agoThey also used to offer source downloads to paying customers, but never claimed to be open source, because the licence they gave to customers to access that source did not allow for distribution. (It was meant for auditing, and help in building extensions, I think)
