Exactly. A 71-line python script https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/commit/3c2e87573d3bd16f6... was groundbreaking when it came out and the fact that it springboarded into a startup is commendable. But 15 years later and Functional Software Inc. d/b/a Sentry has to support 100+ (according to their marketing material) platforms as well as adding new verticals in UX session replay, web performance, backend profiling, CORS error monitoring, code coverage etc. just to keep the growth machine going. That's not OSS' fault.

Sentry is also not open source anymore, according to their license.

More accurately: the latest versions of some components have a two year exclusivity period. The version from two years ago rolling is fully open source* under Apache 2.

*: we just recently lowered the window from 3 to 2 years so temporarily the actual time is 3 years for a couple more months.
