Ahhh thanks for the shout out to Payload! I'm one of the founders. seanwilson, Payload is technically open source and completely free forever for up to one admin panel user. There are no restrictions at all besides that and the code is fully open on GitHub.
Would this model work for you, or would you like to see changes to our current model?

Can you explain how the licensing works here? If it's open source, couldn't you modify it to allow more admin panel users? Can you self-host with no reliance on other hosted services or paid licenses?
