Provenance

Why it matters for a GTM stack

Another day, another "now open source" — the part worth reading is the license class. GPL-3.0 core plus a permissive SDK is a deliberate structure: use it freely, extend it via the Apache-2.0 SDK, but forks of the core stay open. If your team is standardizing an agent-integrated dev environment, that structure is the governance story to evaluate, not the star count.
