is it really FOSS?

Issues exist
There's some FOSS code here, but there are licensing, marketing or transparency issues.

Details

The project is provided under an AGPLv3 license, with some parts provided under a non-open enterprise license.

The largest issue here is the mixing of code under incompatible licenses.

The project was previously provided under an Elastic License 2.0, during which they were open-washing by advertising as being open source. This was raised but this resulted in being blocked from interacting with the project.

The project appears to have raised at least $4.7m of funding from investors which include Runa Capital, 468 Capital, Rheingau Founders and co-founders of Tekion. The project also gains revenue from providing it’s software as a service, and for providing paid variations.
