11/29/2022, 1:58 PMI saw it in the documentation. The question is more about whether it's okay to use taps not from meltano-hub, but custom taps from private repositories. (I worded my question wrong)

Do the Meltano rules prohibit using tap from private repositories?

11/29/2022, 2:03 PMMy question is related to the fact that meltano is an open-source project and is there a requirement in it that if I do some kind of tap, then I must do it open-source.
It seems judging by your posts above and by what I see in the documentation, my issue can be considered resolved
Thanks
