    My apologies if I’m saying something stupid, but I see that this is built on top of Drone, which stopped being Open Source several years ago. Does this means that Drone, as part of Gitness, has become Open Source again?

      With this release, drone is now apache-licensed. From what I’ve been able to find, the developers have been active in other discussions but avoided the topic of why they went open-source when drone wasn’t.

      A few developers that forked Drone into Woodpecker CI when it stopped being open-source are anticipating another “rug-pull” in a few years with Gitness. I’m a bit skeptical myself, but Harness does have other open-source projects and Drone’s decision to stop being open-source predates their acquisition.
