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.
not seeing an issue here. they dont want people taking their work and profitting off it without them giving back to the original developers. why would anyone care that they’ve added a few anti-capital clauses?
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.”
The AGPL already stops others making it proprietary.
Yes, but you still haven’t explain how is this anti-user
In no way do these changes impact your user freedom. Begone troll.
Open WebUI v0.6.6+ … now adds a … branding … clause.
Yes, it makes sense? You’re allowed to use it however you want, you just can’t change the branding to claim it as your own. The only people I would assume are upset over this would be people who want to brand it as their own.
