Grafana
The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.
Loki docs are here: https://github.com/grafana/loki/tree/main/docs/sources they are OSS.
The last contributor to the docs was an hour ago (at time of writing this comment) and came from a maintainer not employed by Grafana Labs.
Looking down the recent commits I see lots of activities from non-Grafana employees that have been accepted.
If there are specific issues with contributing docs or code please do point me towards them.
There's also Signoz (https://signoz.io) a YC-backed company but open source with (recently) paid hosted.

Quickwit is an open source Loki alternative too.
Like said in one comment here, it works on billions of logs on one modest instance. And Grafana integration is on the way :)

(disclaimer: I'm one of the cofounders)
From my little knowledge of Loki's internals. I think contrary to Loki, Quickwit uses a fully feature search engine library underneath called Tantivy (https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy).
I discovered that Grafana doesn't share the info how to build custom packages either – https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/30963
