Health score combines commit recency, twelve-month commit volume, months with activity, release recency and archive state. Metadata refreshed August 2026.
Permissive (MIT, Apache, BSD): you can fork it, close the source and sell it. Lowest legal friction for a commercial product.
This matters most when you plan to sell a hosted version. A permissive licence means anyone — including a competitor with more capital — can do the same, so your defensibility has to come from distribution, support or data, not from the code.
Firezone is shipping code consistently, so a buyer comparing your product will find a maintained free option. Price and position against the total cost of self-hosting it, not against the paid incumbent's list price.
The clearest opening in the dataset. Low open-source competition usually means either a genuinely underserved need or a market too small to attract volunteers — validate demand before assuming the former.
Actively maintained. Firezone recorded 3143 commits over the last twelve months, with activity in 12 of those months and 908 commits in the last quarter. Last commit: 2026-08-15. Last release: 2026-08-10. Committed within the last 45 days.
Firezone is published under Apache-2.0. Permissive (MIT, Apache, BSD): you can fork it, close the source and sell it. Lowest legal friction for a commercial product.
Firezone targets the same job as OpenVPN Access Server and is actively shipping. Adoption sits at 9.0k stars. Whether it is a good replacement depends on your deployment constraints: self-hosting adds infrastructure, upgrade and security work that a commercial subscription absorbs for you.
10 open-source implementations, 6 of them actively maintained, led by Termix at 15k stars. Saturation score 34/100 — Open. Thin or poorly maintained open-source coverage.
