Keeping Open WebUI Free, Fair, and Sustainable

They cry when companies profit from their work, while ignoring the most blatant solution from the start: the AGPL.

Now, its libre software license text file has been replaced with a fake, banning us users from freely forking new versions.

Open WebUI v0.6.6+ … now adds a … branding … clause.

The original BSD-3 license continues to apply for all contributions made to the codebase up to and including release v0.6.5.

    Don’t you think they thought of that when libre licenses were made? This is not anti-capital.

    If you are a business that needs private or custom branding, advanced white-label deployments, or tailored features for mission-critical use cases, we offer proprietary and enterprise licenses. We’ll work with you to ensure your needs and your branding are fully addressed

    Only anti-user. Copyleft, AGPL, already solves this without attacking our software freedom.

      How is this anti user?

      This is to stop companies who have the money to support the project but don’t “because we get it for free” from taking the software and throwing their own branding on it and saying “We made this, pay us to use it.”
