Why is the code not open source at the moment?

Just curious. Downloaded it yesterday and am a huge fan of OSS.

hi, welcome to the community

there have been a few posts on this topic, here are a few:

Open Source Release Date? - General Discussion - Anytype Community

Why should we trust Anytype? - General Discussion - Anytype Community

As far as i understand it, given they are still in an Alpha stage they won’t be making it open source. It ‘MIGHT’ be made open source once it goes into public release, but even then - not sure.

I’ve read that this is the plan!
Beta might be delayed, but once it’s released, it will be open.

Hi all,
the code is indeed planned to be open source once AnyType will be released to the public.
Details are already available in this post:

Open Source Release Date?

Alpha user here. When is the code for this project going to be open-sourced? Anytype has enormous potential, and seems to have gotten to the point where keeping the source code private isn’t doing the project any favors. In fact, I would imagine it is hurting it/slowing it down relative to what it could be. Also, when is the plugin API going to be released? Was supposed to be this summer if I recall correctly from my onboarding meeting.

and in particular, here:

Note that in the most recent town hall they said that it was very important to open the source. And if I remember correctly they said that would happen with Open Beta in April.
