I was just wondering if Is postman app open source? I ask this because in github there are many repositories, but I didnt find one for the client itself, My company wants to use postman in a project, and we thought it was open source, which means our legal department needs to check it, but if its not open source, then there is no need to do a legal check ---

No, Postman is NOT open source. However the Newman CLI tool is.
