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.
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.
