I didn't mean to imply otherwise only that building prop. extensions on top of their own open extensions is nothing new for them and smacks of bad faith engagement.

How is that bad faith? Isn’t that, for example, exactly what Gitlab does?

It would be bad faith if they removed access to the open source code somehow.

It's advertised as open source, but the published source code isn't what people actually run (when using their official binaries).
