We've run an extremely profitable business for five years, raised a seed and a Series A, and grown at 300% a year sustainably while being open source.

Going closed source actually hurts our business more than it benefits it. But it ultimately protects customer data, and that's what we care about the most.

I think if it ultimately protects customer data in a significant way, I would be for it.

Are you able to share any more detail on how you determined this is the best route? It would be a significant implication for many other pieces of open source software also if so.

(And I say this is someone who just recommended cal.com to someone a few days ago specifically citing the fact that it was open source, that led to increased trust in it.)

I did find the video valuable, for reference for others: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYEPLpgCRck

I think if you are committed to switching back to open source as soon as the threat landscape changes, and you have some metric for what that looks like, that would be valuable to share now.

I would like to see the analysis that you're referencing around open source being 5-10x less secure.

By this logic, Linux should switch to closed-source.

All your servers are Linux, so imagine how insecure you are - must switch to windows ASAP.
