Should I Open Source my Company?

• fingerprintjs

  346 20,938 7.8 TypeScript

  Browser fingerprinting library. Accuracy of this version is 40-60%, accuracy of the commercial Fingerprint Identification is 99.5%. V4 of this library is BSL licensed.

  

It may not be common, but I did find these (fairly popular projects) which don't appear to allow production usage:

• wrappers

  11 436 9.5 Rust

  Postgres Foreign Data Wrapper development framework in Rust.

  

I used one of their open source work in a project: https://github.com/supabase/wrappers

It’s appreciated since SaaS on AWS is a no-no in my field.

• SurveyJS

As someone who has created and maintained open source projects (most recently Willow[0]) for two decades I get a kick out of this.

Of course when interacting with users and feedback I keep it polite but in my head I'm thinking "You like to talk. I actually DID this. Shut up or submit a PR".

Surprise surprise they almost never do.
