Clarify licensing and permitted self-hosted use #4

Description

@rs0h

Hi,

Could you please clarify the intended license and permitted usage of this project?

The repository is publicly available and the README provides instructions for self-hosting and running the software. However, the current LICENSE file states “All rights reserved” and says that use, copying, modification, and distribution are not permitted without prior written permission.

This makes it unclear whether users are currently allowed to:

  • clone and run the project for personal/self-hosted use;
  • modify it for their own use;
  • deploy it internally within a company;
  • contribute changes through pull requests;
  • redistribute modified or unmodified versions.

I also noticed that the copyright holder named in the LICENSE file differs from the GitHub repository owner, so clarification on that relationship would also be useful.

Is the current restrictive license intentional, or is the project expected to move to an open-source license such as Apache-2.0, MIT, AGPL, or another license?

The project looks technically interesting, but the current licensing terms make it difficult to evaluate or adopt safely.

Thanks.
