What we couldn't confirm6
- The ee/ directory is referenced in the license file but its contents and license text were not provided, so I cannot confirm which parts are paid or differently licensed.
- The host reported the license as NOASSERTION, so the verdict relies on the project's own license file.
- Whether 'Amptitude' is a real separate product or a misspelling of Amplitude.
- Whether PostHog covers all of Mixpanel's or Amplitude's features, since the README only describes its own feature set.
- Whether the 'Forms & surveys' group fits PostHog's surveys well, since PostHog's surveys are not described as general forms.
- Pricing and free tier limits beyond what the README states.
