Licenses for self-host?

[floli]

Hello,

I am a private user of a self-hosted Affine instance. My feelings about the open-source status of Affine are of both joy and fear.

Joy as we can use such a great product with constant development. Fear about the sometimes wonky state of self-hosted (AI not working, limitiations regarding space and #accounts, ...).

Just now, a commit #93e01:

feat(server): support installable license (#12181)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added support for installing self-hosted team licenses via encrypted license files.
  • Introduced a new "Onetime" license variant for self-hosted environments.

sparked new fear about the effective end of the open-source self-hosted version.

I would appreciate some words from the developers about the business plans and how their commitment to open-source self-hosted is.

Thanks a lot, also for any discussion here!

shortly, as we always said, AFFiNE is and will always be free for personal usage or small teams(less than 10 when selfhosted). The storage limitation will be removed in some day when the codebase is ready.

The installable license is required by some large teams with air gapped deployment environment.
