MPL-2.0 Vault-compatible secrets engine after the Vault fork
Auth / Secrets · OSS/MIT · 7.3k
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. Infisical already shipped — this is the engine/compat fork, not the developer-secrets UI. Do not invent Cloud free tiers.
Verdict
MPL Vault-compat engine. Fork for license, not Infisical DX.
