Look at sqllite. They have a good example going how code can be open and you still have a product. For SQLite the actual product is the test-suite and the audits. Sure you can use the code all you like, but you only ever get past quality gates if you use the audited and provably tested version. This becomes just more relevant in the age of ai coding, where an agent might be able to reimplement your specs. Keep your code open, but consider moving your tests.
