They have "Enterprise" features that don't appear to be "open source". It's "Open Source", but only the simple parts we didn't think were big money makers?
I am on the phone too, but loaded it onto my server. It's currently running. We'll see.
Edit: So its legit? Wow...

I think that open source people should also be able to recognize that always sponsoring a new project is not the open source way.
They could have given established software a facelift and added a lot more features and this would have been better for the open source world than what they did.
I mean it's not wrong what they did. They just shouldn't get as much praise for making it open source.
Imagine everyone creating their own versioning system because they don't like githubs frontend.
Companies on the hunt for comprehensive project management and issue tracking tooling aren’t exactly short of options, with the likes of Atlassian’s Jira serving software development teams well for more than two decades.
Co-founder and CEO Vamsi Kurama says the number one advantage of being open source is privacy and security — companies can have complete control over their data, with full visibility into the inner-workings of the Plane platform.
Founded last November by brothers Vamsi and Vihar Kurama, the initial Plane GitHub repository actually preceded the formal launch by several months, though it was primarily an internal tool to help the creators deal with various pain-points they suffered when managing clients at a previous IT consulting company they worked at.
Through various iterations, Plane went live 12 months ago, and today it offers features such as issue planning and tracking, with the option to customize the project layout for list, Kanban and calendar views.
It also supports sprint planning with “cycles” replete with insights on progress, and the ability to break down larger projects into modular chunks that can be assigned to specific teams or personnel.
The fresh cash injection will help Plane turbo-charge its product development in the coming year, including a new feature called Vault for engineering teams to store and share authentication “secrets” securely.

I'm Happy to see more competition for jira. Jira has been around for 20 years but honestly it looks and acts the same as it did 20 years ago, except slower if you had the sense to provision it well on bare metal back then. The jira in the cloud experience at many companies has been less than stellar.
