It is however one of the prime examples of commercial use of open source software with no engagement of the community. colab notebooks may not run on a “vanilla” Jupyter installation because of google-only extensions to the protocol, and there has not yet been any effort on colab’s part to engage with the jupyter community. You may want to make sure your notebooks and research is not too tied in to one provider.

There are a few proprietary extensions like forms (saved as comments in Python code) or colab only magics, but they’re totally optional and don’t break file format compatibility.
