My guess is that Citus is making enough money from consulting that they don't need to keep this code closed source when they can profit from free community-driven growth while they are expanding their sales pipeline through consulting.

Hi, Craig from Citus here. In addition to the open source Citus, we have some premium features in our Enterprise edition. Many of these are ones that larger enterprises will want to pay for such as security features around roles, a tool for automated cluster resizing, and enhanced load balancing tools, and of course support. Beyond that we have a few other things in the work that will speak to various revenue models for the future.

They offer an enterprise paid version with more functionality.

"for customers with large production deployments, we also offer an enterprise edition that comes with additional functionality"
