Comment on Bento: Open-source fork of the project formerly known as Benthosparent

Comments

From the outside just the instant name change alone really reeks of embrace-extinguish imo, even if technically licensing of the core engine is unaffected. Benthos is a broad enough product to have an auxiliary ecosystem around it, with plugins, GUI editors, monitoring etc etc and we’ve seen a LOT of “technically open-core but rendered useless without paid features” type of products in recent years, from those types of companies. I would be extremely unsurprised if they creep in more hostile changes in the future to soften the blow too. I hope I’m wrong.
