Migration notes
Closer capture-and-sharing workflow with own-server deployment. Loom importer supports URLs/CSV but is Pro-gated, requires download access and maps space labels rather than nested folder hierarchy. Build desktop from source for commercial-license exemption.

What you may give up
Official distributed desktop binaries require a paid commercial license for business use; self-built source versions exempt
Cap Pro cloud plan gates unlimited sharing, transcription, analytics, custom domains and Loom importer; self-host parity not fully verified
Tier U: Pinned root LICENSE states AGPLv3 except MIT cap-camera/scap crate families. Commercial-license docs explicitly exempt self-built versions; core qualifies as OSS. U reflects unverified self-host feature gates, not license uncertainty. License source
