That's exactly what I'm always looking for! Here's the related GitHub issue:

https://github.com/carefree0910/carefree-creator/issues/2

Apart from the technical concerns (huge code base, lack of documentation, etc.), I'm also pretty afraid of someone (or some company) just taking away the codes and make profits or even claim that they make it, because webui codes (especially as production ready as this project) are something that's easy to copy and HARD to protect...

But if more and more people get to know this project, this concern will no longer exist, and I'll definitely open source the webui codes XD!

After all, I do want more and more people to be able to enjoy the current AI magics, for free, and forever!



It won't stop everyone, but if you license it under AGPL they'd be required to share any modifications they make under the same, open, license.


<== This is the answer.

The MIT license is wrong for this, as is proprietary. You want AGPL.


I don’t know how it is viewed here, but have a look at the licensing scheme adopted by Sentry.io.

They faced a similar concern when people were selling the exact same product using a new name.

> For example, this past year, we’ve had to deal with funded businesses plagiarizing or copying our work to directly compete with Sentry. This has included taking marketing content from our website, plagiarizing our documentation and framing it as their own, or straight-up copy/pasting our product visuals. Their defense? “Well, it’s free open-source, and we can do that.” These businesses are not using Sentry to improve how they develop software; they’re lifting its code and assets to build their closed-source products to compete directly with us.
