Freescout: Open source modules?

Created on 20 Dec 2019  路  4Comments  路  Source: freescout-helpdesk/freescout

I can understand that you provide paid modules to keep the project alive. But basic things like LDAP are often needed and if I want to stay open source only it is not possible to use it.

Is there any chance to get the modules open?

I am completely fine with the business model. I though these are closed source extensions and I was not aware that you get the source code after paying.

All modules are open source (AGPL-3.0 license).

Maybe I am blind but where is the source code?

You get it after downloading modules. You probably have common misunderstanding of what open source is, thinking that open source means free. See https://opensource.com/business/12/7/four-insights-selling-and-marketing-open-source-software
