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.

It's still very permissive, you just can't remove their branding.

One of the main problems is that this is targeted at forks to limit their possibility (Since you can't really technically call it something else following the license, and they may come after you via trademarks if you retain it).

OnlyOffice also do this, they prevent changing specific logo use (via sketch interpretation of the AGPLv3) then also prohibit you from using their logo.
