A small number of repositories are under the MIT license. We built Flagsmith as the open source feature flag tool we needed but couldn't find on GitHub. Our core functionality stays open, always. Read our [open letter to developers](https://www.flagsmith.com/about-us). ## Open Source vs Paid With our core functionality being open, you can use our open-source feature flag and remote config management platform no matter what. Enterprise-level governance and management features are available with a valid Flagsmith Enterprise license.
