It looks like OpenAI really has messed around with the definition of "Open" and we are seeing lots of startups run with that to the point where the definition is meaningless.
Just like "AGI" is also meaningless.
1. Code up a halfway decent product.
2. Call yourself the "open source alternative to X" where X is some well-known proprietary enterprise product.
3. Once you have a community and your product has gotten stable on the backs of thousands of unpaid volunteers, pull the rug and rake in millions of those sweet, sweet enterprise dollars.

I was excited with the pitch. And then had this completely ruin your image. If you'd been upfront, then you could still have retained the interest.
I recommend everyone keep away from this if you care about your autonomy should your side project commercialize. There's plenty of good alternatives. The intent seems dishonest - given how brazenly every comment about the license is exclusively being ignored.
