Metabase has decided to make the source code for its Enterprise Edition publicly available, integrating it into the existing open-source repository on GitHub. This decision comes after realizing that maintaining separate repositories for the open-source and enterprise versions was inefficient and prone to error, creating unnecessary work in merging and releasing updates. By consolidating the codebases, Metabase aims to streamline development, reduce merge conflicts, and focus on product improvement rather than administrative tasks. While the Enterprise Edition code is now accessible for examination, it remains under a Source Available license, meaning it requires a license for use and is not considered open source. This approach aligns with Metabase's open-source roots and is intended to benefit both current and potential customers by providing easier access to the enterprise features without altering the licensing structure.
