“open source” but it’s the nonfree AGPL, and naturally RBAC and SSO are behind a paywall. I’m tired of fake open source projects that just want the street cred and free marketing.

AGPL is as free as it gets. Perhaps the word you're looking for is non-permissive?
Don’t believe the hype. AGPL violates free software freedoms 0 and 1. It was designed by people who think that receiving a free gift confers obligation to reciprocate.

Huh? FSF wrote AGPL and the 4 freedoms.
AGPL does not require you to share your changes if you use it (like most people) internally. It does if you host it for others as a service. Pretty fair trade.
Freedom to use, modify and distribute, clearly enforced for the Internet age.
