"Open-source code is basically like handing out the blueprint to a bank vault. And now there are 100× more hackers studying the blueprint."
Cal is transitioning from an open-source model to a proprietary license to enhance security against AI threats. CEO Bailey Pumfleet initially founded Cal.com as an open-source project to address limitations in scheduling products. However, the emergence of AI tools that can identify vulnerabilities has prompted this shift. The company is shutting down its commercial open-source program, citing the overwhelming threat of AI hackers who exploit the transparency of open-source code. This move may disturb open-source advocates but reflects a growing concern over security.
