Hey! What are your opinions on open sourcing this tool considering privacy considerations and simply I would love it if I can host my own data/ not have to worry about what proprietary thing is running! Thanks in advance

  Probably having the license AGPL or some certain restriction where you can only attract the big business users on this product. Let's be honest, you can make money from the small guys but they are little cents as compared to giving corps self hosting guides / licenses like docker..., I know they may not come under pure open source, but the question is tricky, and so is the answer. So this becomes "fair source" I guess. I just want the code itself to be readable & buildable from scratch, I want to trust in the process that there are atleast some person who have searched this code and found no malicious use. I want it so that I can modify your program if I really want to, maybe even redistribute that modifications.

But I asked what you are willing to give to get what you want and it seems to be nothing.

      Yea because I am just a teenager and to be honest pretty broke right now. I can not give money, I am a pretty frugal person, the Environment and my upbringing has made me such. Though I will contribute to the project on issues I suppose. That's the least I can/will do.
