totally fair concern. we’re actually on the same side when it comes to promoting good security practices like SSO.
the reason we’re gating the admin server under a business license is less about profiting off sso and more about drawing a line between individual and organizational use. it includes a bunch of enterprise-specific features (sso, access control, integrations, ...) that typically require more support and maintenance.
that said, the core app is fully open-source and always will be - so individuals and teams who don’t need the admin layer can still use it freely and privately, without compromising security.
we’ll keep listening and evolving the model - after all, we're still very early and flexible. appreciate the pushback.
(edit: added some more words to reinforce our flexibility)

Fair stance. I believe sso tax is a necessary evil.
Nothing fair about making software insecure. Don't normalise it.
