What's Good
MPL-2.0. Linux Foundation Vault-compatible fork. KV, transit, auth methods, policies — the engine shape teams already know. Self-host is the free path.
The Catch
Vault-engine / IdP-secrets lane, not Infisical app-secrets DX. This is the engine/compat fork, not the developer-secrets UI. Don’t assume a Cloud free tier.
Verdict
MPL Vault-compat engine. Fork for license, not Infisical DX.
