It has been open source since approximately the year 2000, so basically 20 years.
Now that it is in Apache, it is on top of that open governance — not only can you reuse it, you can also directly drive its roadmap. When will the next release be released? Up to you: start voting in vote threads. When will it provide feature X, Y, or Z? Up to you: provide the pull request and it will be done. The limit is your sky.
