What you may give up

Current terms mention proprietary modules without enumerating their feature boundaries.

Tier U: Core backend is MPL-2.0 and self-hosted instances are exempt from SaaS project/storage caps. Current commercial terms acknowledge proprietary modules, so complete commercial feature parity cannot be established. Promising low-lock-in candidate pending module-boundary review. License source
