Quoting another poster (wavemode) here...

Trivially debunked by looking at their homepage in 2019:

That archived page doesn’t debunk what I am saying, it supports it.

> Open Source Alternative for Zapier/tray.io

They claimed to be open source…

> (Apache 2.0 with Commons Clause)

…but they were not. The Commons Clause means that it isn’t open source. It’s a commercial restriction.

The founder directly said this when discussing it here, the day before that archive was saved:

> > This is not open source - it is source available.

> Yes you are correct. Wrote an extra section about it here in the docs: https://docs.n8n.io/#/faq?id=license

No, what I linked to does not show that they used to be open source. It shows that they used to call themselves open source, despite never having been so.
