I was looking into Tailscale which I thought to be complexly open source, but it turns out that their coordination server is closed source. If you want to run your own open source coordination server, Headscale is the go-to option.
This is no fault of their own (as they freely express this in their FAQ) it’s just that I had always been told by people that Tailscale was fully open source. This got me wondering what else is not as open source as people widely accept it to be?
Yes, the comment is not nice, but also not wrong imho. I mean, what’s the point of the question? OP got wrong or inaccurate information from random people (probably on reddit) and is now asking random people on reddit if there are other things that random people on reddit are giving wrong or inaccurate information about ;-)
The premise of the question is to open a discussion about software that lives in a de facto state of being completely open source.
As opposed to asking whom on a hodgepodge full of strangers?
As opposed to not opening a discussion where erroneous information is not brought to attention…
