https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/53528#issuecomment-1594967818 https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/53528#issu... appears to be a comment from someone in the project laying out why they've changed.

A few months back they removed free enterprise license that allowed 10 dev seats, some smaller companies were holding back the updates and looking at the OSS version - I guess, not anymore

So it seems like nobody was using the OSS version, and they didn’t want to maintain two versions if nobody was using it. It also says they offer a free self hosted version for individuals, but I couldn’t find that on their site.

  First they offered a Free Enterprise tier for 10 seats, they've removed this a few months back, their OSS lacked even some basic things as language support, building it was impossible due to lack of documentation/breakage in the build process for several months and they didn't offer sourcegraph-oss images. At some point, one individual on Github managed to get it working and his images got 10k+ pulls on DockerHub. That's hardly "nobody". Also, some people removed telemetry from OSS version so Sourcegraph didn't even know that anyone is using it. Also, they were open-closed-open-closed in the last 5 years. Their website is a mess, even employees on github are providing contradicting information. Original commit message that relicensed bunch of stuff had errors in it regarding what exactly will be closed source now.

  I am using the version you can install via `brew install sourcegraph`, though they seem to have abandoned it to make people install Cody (which requires an account even for local use). I will probably use the Brew version for as long as it works. The major pain point is that it seems to have a timeout for repo discovery at 5s, so you can't just clone all of your GH starred repos and search them this way. P.S. Started a discussion regarding the Homebrew package, but pretty sure it's canned: https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/discussions/54589 https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/discussions/54589

Of note, they mention (ordering/emphasis mine): > We remain committed to Zoekt, the open source code search engine, and will continue to upstream changes to it. https://github.com/sourcegraph/zoekt https://github.com/sourcegraph/zoekt > The source code will remain publicly available. > Individual devs will still be able to use Sourcegraph for free on public code at sourcegraph.com and within our self-hosted free tier on private code. > Very few individual devs or companies used the limited variant of code search that was open source. The vast majority (99.9%+) used the enterprise product. Maintaining two variants going forward was a big burden on our engineering team that had very little benefit for users.
