Open source is dead. That’s not a statement we ever thought we’d make. @calcom was built on open source. It shaped our product, our community, and our growth. But the world has changed faster than our principles could keep up. AI has fundamentally altered the security landscape. What once required time, expertise, and intent can now be automated at scale. Code is no longer just read. It is scanned, mapped, and exploited. Near zero cost. In that world, transparency becomes exposure. Especially at scale. After a lot of deliberation, we’ve made the decision to close the core @calcom codebase. This is not a rejection of what open source gave us. It’s a response to what risks AI is making possible. We’re still supporting builders, releasing the core code under a new MIT-licensed open source project called cal. diy for hobbyists and tinkerers, but our priority now is simple: Protecting our customers and community at all costs. This may not be the most popular call. But we believe many companies will come to the same conclusion. -

Starting today, Cal.com will relaunch all free and open-source code as Cal.diy under MIT License, widely considered the most liberal and popular open-source license. This new community edition is only for self-hosting and use at your own risk.
That probably still meets my own needs. Perhaps a new package is needed for that?
Or perhaps we'll all migrate to @ekevu123's TymeSlot app?

Absolutely lame.
@andreasdueren Clearly something happened to them or their customers.
Yet it was taken as defeat, instead of a chalenge to rise to.

Their emotions are in the open.
Long live Open Source.
