What's Good

Apache-2.0. OPA Rego policies plus an embedded Zanzibar-style directory in a single binary/container. ABAC and ReBAC without stitching Cerbos to OpenFGA yourself. Self-host is the free path.

The Catch

One container = OPA Rego + embedded Zanzibar directory (ABAC+ReBAC) — not Cerbos YAML-only PDP and not OpenFGA ReBAC-only Check API. Distinct from Cerbos and OpenFGA.

Verdict

Apache-2.0 combined authZ. Self-host free; not a single-model PDP.
