    Project mention: Nginx Unit: open-source, lightweight and versatile application runtime | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-31

    I wouldn't bet on that. :)

    F5 isn't the most visible corporation in terms of grassroots engagement, but NGINX itself has remained F/OSS all these years and newer projects like the Kubernetes Ingress Controller [0], Gateway Fabric [1], and NGINX Agent [2] are all Apache 2.0 licensed. Just like Unit.

    We do have commercial offerings, including the aforementioned NGINX Plus, but I think we've got a decent track record of keeping useful things open.
