Windmill.dev is not "fully open-sourced (AGPLv3)"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49392365I think Windmill.dev (https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill) is really cool, and fully support their desire to be paid for their work.However, their README says:> “Windmill is fully open-sourced (AGPLv3)…”But their LICENSE says:> ... The files under backend/ are AGPLv3 Licensed, except any snippets of code under the compile flag ‘enterprise’. Those snippets and files are under a proprietary and commercial license. Private and public forks MUST not include the proprietary/commercial code mentioned above.I dove deeper into the code, there are around 300 files in the codebase that contain references to enterprise or private features, so it's not a clearly separated directory that can just be removed.They have 1.1k forks of their repository that I can see on Github, and I doubt all of them took the time to strip the proprietary code to comply with the license.So at this point, it feels like a licensing trap for anyone that clicks the fork button on Github or is attracted by the AGPL liAug 21, 2026 6:50 PM

Show HN: Visual way to understand things in parallelhttps://wondering.app/canvasHey HN!Really excited to be showing what I think is a better way to understand complex topics with AI.You start a chat with your question, and whenever you want to clarify something or understand some jargon, you can branch out a new chat from that thread.The cool unlock is being able to see all related chat threads in the same context without tab switching, for e.g. I can first dive into understanding world models, then spin a new chat thread on who the key players are in there, and another asking what's the frontier with this stuff.The responses are also not just a wall of text. They're: - Filled with interactive diagrams and visuals - Super fastAnd for those curious, this is how we built it: - React Flow (@xyflow/react) for the canvas - React Components for interactive diagrams - GPT Image 2 for image generations - Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite for super fast response - Parallelization whenever possible to keep things fastYou can also highlight and add notes :)Try it out and let me know whaAug 21, 2026 5:06 PM
