Looks like they created mess with AI and then open sourced it. I remembered I had to shift from them to metabase because they closed sourced their deployments docker/kubernetes I guess it was 3 years back.

But now AI screwed them over so they come with their own open-source spaghetti.

PostHog has always been open source. I'm not sure why this has been shared on HN at all.

[ameliaquining]

PostHog has always been open core and source-available. What's new is that they now publish a GitHub repo containing just the open source parts.

Has it? This is from that repo, "PostHog FOSS is a read-only mirror of PostHog, with all proprietary code removed." Seems they have some proprietary code in the non-open-source version.

I thought the same thing. What changed, if anything?

[robbie-c]

Nothing has changed, just OP found the mirror of the main repo with the ee/ folder removed. That repo has been up for most of the lifetime of the company.

Exactly, I was thinking this too!
