  • Strapi

    🚀 Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS. It’s 100% JavaScript/TypeScript, fully customizable and developer-first.

    • Strapi - They do a mixed-repo but do it quite well. From my quick test, I could delete the single non-open ee folder and the project still worked without it.

  • gitlab

    • GitLab gets community contributions. All work, including community contributions, are provided to the main mixed repo. The readonly mirror is then a copy of this with the non-open parts stripped out. The mirror is not used for development at all, it's just a convenience for people that want the project code without the enterprise/proprietary content.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • gitlab-foss

    • GitLab - Again a mixed repo but they also provide a mirror with all non-OS code removed.
