To keep Open WebUI thriving for the long term, we’ve introduced a **lightweight branding protection clause** that helps us sustain the project while ensuring **every user** continues to benefit from rapid innovation **without resorting to gated features or paywalled functionality**.

To keep Open WebUI thriving for the long term, we’ve introduced a **lightweight branding protection clause** that helps us sustain the project while ensuring **every user** continues to benefit from rapid innovation **without resorting to gated features or paywalled functionality**.

It’s a simple, balanced step that protects the ecosystem, strengthens the project, and **ensures we can sustain our mission of empowering everyone**.
