The license kinda sucks though: ``` 3. USE RESTRICTIONS

Licensee is expressly forbidden from:

(a) Incorporating, modifying, or using the Software as part of any other product or service; ```

We should probably clarify that although we are pointing our post to our Github repo, it isn’t technically open source. It’s something we’d like to explore in the future with Dropbase though. At the moment, you can self-host our Client and Worker.

We actually started with just releasing the Worker for self-hosting. Then based on feedback from one of our friends and early users, we decided to also distribute the client for self-hosting due to security concerns. Maybe in the future if we also allow self-hosting our backend API it could make sense to distribute Dropbase differently!

We should have a Chrome extension that just summarizes the license for any Github repo you hang out at!
