I don't know the exact dates, but Facebook turned osquery over to the community back in 2019 or 2020, after a period of uncertainly over (reasonable!) conflicting development interests[1]. It became a LF hosted project sometime after that.

(I don't know whether they still use it in-house.)

There’s also a podcast episode on it with two of the creators: "The story behind the creation of osquery" https://fleetdm.com/podcasts/the-future-of-device-management...
