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.
Ghostfolio 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.
Assume every prospect can find a free version in five minutes. Your wedge has to be something open source structurally cannot deliver: compliance, support SLAs, managed hosting at scale, or a workflow the maintainers refuse to build.

Ghostfolio targets the same job as Personal finance and is actively shipping. Adoption sits at 9.1k 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.
42 open-source implementations, 27 of them actively maintained, led by HyperSwitch at 43k stars. Saturation score 72/100 — Crowded. Free, maintained alternatives already dominate this category.
