HashiCorp Vault changed their license to "Business Source License"
https://github.com/hashicorp/vault?tab=License-1-ov-file#readme

Probably better to support "OpenBao is an open source, community-driven fork of Vault managed by the Linux Foundation."
https://openbao.org/
https://github.com/openbao/openbao
uses "Mozilla Public License" https://github.com/openbao/openbao?tab=MPL-2.0-1-ov-file#readme

OpenBao is developing improvements and releasing more features that will be open source. Many Vault features are not available to community, but only to Vault Enterprise edition, see:
https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/tutorials/get-started/available-editions

OpenBao appears to be getting support from Gitlab
"OpenBao server will be a new component in the GitLab overall architecture." https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/architecture/design-documents/secret_manager/#openbao-server

Adrian Ambroziak Polish Sysadmin has already shared automated install scripts for OpenBao
