When it says "available in open source", is that under the main airbyte repo's licensing [1], hence primarily licensed under the Elastic License v2 and therefore not typically considered open source by many? Airbyte has previous of advertising their offering as open source while not really being as per the OSD[2]. This has been raised with them previously but without response [3][4]. They've also been extending their use of ELv2, recently moving many of their existing MIT licensed connectors to be ELv2 [5]. I don't personally take issue with the choice of license here, I respect the right to protect your work and choose a license that works for you, I'm just against the misuse of open source wording.

Have you check Airbyte's license[0]? Much of it is Elastic License 2.0, which I don't think allows what you're doing. 0 - https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/LICENSE

(i work at airbyte) this was announced last month at our conf to a very positive response (https://movedata.airbyte.com/, keynote) The context is that Airbyte is now (after pivoting 3x during YC https://airbyte.com/blog/how-we-pivoted-3-times-in-the-1st-m...) the largest/fastest growing open source community (see our github https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte) of data pipeline connectors[0], so in a sense they have always been free if you are self hosting. But now using them on Airbyte Cloud is going to be free as well aka "we will do your ELT for free no matter the volume as long as our connectors are not GA yet". This is a massive commitment to improve the quality of our connectors, which is also something we have been pushing the industry on: https://airbyte.com/blog/connector-release-stages : Alpha: new, basic docs, works, passes acc
