what is an "open source" network infrastructure provider?

Cloudflare is mostly open-sourced, alternatives are more often than not closed-sourced

  • I don't think putting up a few libraries on GitHub and writing great post-mortems makes something "Mostly open-sourced".

  • I believe the implication is that cloudflares usefulness is not in her source code but rather her physical infra, there is not some free as in freedom alternative to that.
