How Arcjet approaches open source

SMRTR summary

Arcjet maintains a careful balance with open source, offering their security SDK under Apache-2.0 license while keeping their cloud API closed source. Their open source strategy focuses on releasing internal tools they'll continue maintaining, like their WebAssembly host generator "gravity," rather than abandoning projects. Arcjet selectively forks projects when necessary and encourages team members to contribute upstream, viewing open source as a practical tool rather than a marketing strategy.
