Proper Open Source Plugins (lemmy.ml)

When looking for plugins how do people sort through all the 'free' plugins that sound great but are actually 'fremuim' where all the key features are actually in a PRO version?

How do you locate the fully featured proper open source plugins that are well maintained and used?

I usually check the description for a link to GitHub or similar. Alternatively I directly search for the plugin name + "source code"

Yeah .. I am nothing that many plugins i looked at had source code available bit then when I looked further it was for the basic version while they offered a.pro version which was paid.

I guess in these situations you need to dig into the licencing to find out where you stand.

Perhaps also I am just too new to Wordpress to know the popular open source addons
