For those unfamiliar, Open WebUI is a self-hosted AI interface, which you can use with local models with Ollama, OpenRouter, etc.

Also note there was a recent license change, which is why I didn’t say ‘Open source’. You can make your own judgements about that here:

https://docs.openwebui.com/license/

See the link in the post for all the changes, there were too many to list and lots of quality of life improvements from what I can tell.

    Should have just used AGPL from the start, instead of falling back to this fucked up modified BSD license. It wouldn’t stop people from stripping the branding, but they’d have to release source code which would tell all users what they’re actually using.

    Their stated reason for the change was the fact that In the great ai gold rush people who never contributed to the project Simply grabbed it, and without contributing anything to the project did nothing except stripped the branding and then go sell it. kind of a crappy thing to do but hey it’s the Internet. I don’t have any firsthand experience so I can’t say for sure what the deal was. we’ve seen The same thing with forks of V s code turned into all kinds of things.

      Unless this is specifically called out in the license, this is an activity allowed by many permissive open source licenses. If they knew that this type of activity was unwanted initially, then they didn’t choose the proper license.

    i swear, open source devs will do anything, but license their code under AGPLv3.

    Using a permissive license? Then don’t whine about corporations profiting off of your code.

    The license change literally just prevents you from stripping their branding if you have more than 50 users a month - this is more permissive than the MPL that Firefox is licensed under

    How is this simple summary missing from the project page itself? Was that so hard?

    Ngl I really wish there was a decent way to hook into third party “offerings” like duck.ai. I don’t have the spare GPUs to run anything at any kind of decent speed.
