Open Source can be pair or commercial. But the license of these software Enterprise Edition, called "Fossorial Commercial License", is not Open Source. You tell who and how can use the software after the share/sell and call it Open Source.

The main site also advertises "Self Host: Enterprise Edition" as being "100% Open Source" which is simply not true and false advertising.

Pangolin is dual licensed under the AGPLv3 and the Fossorial Commercial License. The community edition includes no commercial license code and is fully AGPL compliant. The enterprise edition is also free to use for personal use.

It's how commercial software tries to get big and a lot of undeserved, free goodwill these days.
