How do you define open-core ? We and I suppose it's the same for supertokens literally only have features in ee that large enterprise would care about like scaling to hundreds of workers. Would you prefer that we never develop those features ? What difference does it make if we develop those plugins in the main repo versus another one ? Would you prefer that those features to be hidden from sight so you cannot even read the source ?

I might be wrong but open-core is for me products that expose the minimal amount of features as open-source but are only really usable with the proprietary glue. That is not the case for us.

That is not a strict understanding of that term though! That is just an anecdotal opinion. Open-core is where part of the codebase is open, while another part is not. Plain and simple.

And that is not the same as Open Source, which is absolute. The whole reason the term open-core came about was to disambiguate projects that could not claim 100% open code, and make it easier for consumers to pick based on that commitment (or not).

Either you're open source, or you're not. Open-core is not open source. Just be transparent and we're cool.
