Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud and Canva rent the canvas. Penpot is MPL-2.0 and is the tool we deploy when a team needs a shared design file they can host. Inkscape's own licence note says the complete binaries are covered by GPL version 3 or later, which covers illustration, not a multiplayer design system.
What does Penpot not replace?
Adobe for print production, colour-managed packaging, and the rest of a creative studio's installed tools. Canva is a template service for people who are not designing a product. Replacing Canva with Inkscape is a category error.
What is the migration?
Files. Figma files do not become Penpot files by wishing. Budget a conversion of the files that are still the source of truth, and archive the rest.
When should Figma stay?
When the design team is large, the file is the collaboration, and a host is a distraction. Own a copy of the exported assets either way. The subscription should not be the only place the logo lives.
What do we hand over?
We select the system, deploy it on infrastructure you control, connect it to the tools you keep, and write the runbook so your own team can operate it. Support after handover is optional. The rest of the map is in software you can stop renting; the engagement behind it is open-source business systems.
Name one process that still needs a person. We will tell you what a one-time build takes.
