And for those who prefer a fully permissive path, **[anyone can still fork from v0.6.5 with zero restrictions and build from there however they choose](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/main/LICENSE_HISTORY)**. It’s a simple, balanced step that protects the ecosystem, strengthens the project, and **ensures we can sustain our mission of empowering everyone**.
:::
If you've been following Open WebUI’s journey, you know our goal has always been: empower everyone with cutting-edge AI, with as few barriers as possible. Open WebUI is an independent project, built and maintained by a small, dedicated core team. Over years, we’ve poured **countless hours, late nights, and real financial resources** into making this the best tool we can, **and we trust our users enough to keep it free and open**.
If you've been following Open WebUI’s journey, you know our goal has always been: empower everyone with cutting-edge AI, with as few barriers as possible. Open WebUI is an independent project, built and maintained by a small, dedicated core team. Over the years, we’ve poured **countless hours, late nights, and real financial resources** into making this the best tool we can, **and we trust our users enough to keep it free and open**.
But with Open WebUI’s rapid growth, we began seeing a pattern that put real pressure on the project’s **long-term sustainability**: some groups were stripping out the branding, repackaging our work as their own, and monetizing it without any acknowledgment or participation. This wasn’t just about credit, it created confusion for end users, **obscured the project’s availability as free software**, and made it harder for people to understand where the software came from. Worse, these same groups often came back to us for fixes, support, and updates, placing extreme strain on a small, independent team for products they were profiting from, quietly shifting the burden of their commercial offerings. That dynamic ultimately drained time, focus, our limited bandwidth and resources away from the people we’re actually here to serve: **the real community**.
