Only an anecdote, but I was working on a side project with another dev who wanted to use Tailwind Plus components. It wasn't immediately obvious whether this was allowed under his personal license or if we'd have to get a team license instead, though.

We decided to go with a FOSS component library instead to avoid any potential issues down the road. After re-reading the license page now, I'm still not sure.

I actually emailed about this after reading this thread, got a warm response from a person, which did not make this any clearer.

I want to use it in an OSS project, does that mean every drive by contributor needs a license?
