I have no problem with a company discouraging other companies from offering a paid competing product that relies on your code. But why prevent you from using self-hosted open source software? For example, Terraform had that licensing change which prevents you from running a competing company but (as I understand it) you can still point Terraform to your self hosted Terraform Enterprise alternative. This Cypress change would prevent you from using Cypress with a self hosted sorry-cypress dashboard.

Yes, I 100% agree. They should have always supported a self-hosted install, even if it was via sorry-cypress. In my mind it's completely antithetical to being an "open source company" and not also providing some sort of (maybe incomplete) self-hosting capability.
