Scarf is not a package manager itself; it sits in front of package downloads and related assets to provide privacy-conscious usage analytics and company-level sales signals. For OSS businesses, the main value is identifying organizations that rely on a project so the team can build support, enterprise, or commercial relationships around that usage.
