MIT-core self-hosted IdP; enterprise/ is not MIT

What's Good
MIT outside enterprise/. OIDC, SAML, LDAP, RADIUS, proxy. OSS self-host is Free. Docker Compose or Kubernetes. Flows you can actually read.
The Catch
enterprise/ is not MIT — EE license, paid seats. No hosted hatch: goauthentik.io/pricing says they do not currently provide a hosted version. You run Postgres and the stack.
Verdict
MIT-core IdP. Self-host is the free path; there is no authentik Cloud.
