When NOT to use openfirma
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid if you prefer a solution not tightly coupled to Cedar policies, as Openfirma exclusively supports this policy framework.
- Do not use if licensing is critical and you need permissive licenses, since Openfirma uses the GPL-3.0 license.
