That's a big red flag for an open-source design system.

Design-wise, the Figma files look nice but are poorly built. Most of the text and colors don't use styles, and the few color styles they use are in a private library.

There's some documentation (good) but the components make a lot of mistakes. You're better off starting from scratch.

Is Figma open source?

Figma is a professional design application, considered by many to be the most advanced: https://www.figma.com

The base tier is free.

Figma isn't bundled with your application.
