"We keep ScopeDB private and proprietary, while we actively get involved and contribute back to the open-source dependencies, open source common libraries when it’s suitable"

They say they do when suitable (never or rarely).

But that's fine as the licenses allow it. It feels like another company blogging about how great open source to get pr while close sourcing their product.

The older I get the more I understand why gpl variations are superior to bsd if you want to grow the software. Bsd are good for throw away code or standards you want others to adopt.
