[WARNING] Open WebUI removes its libre software license - Lemmy.World

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.

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.
