that statement is not completely accurate:
the open source core is a fully-fledged full-stack app with tRPC as the API.
nothing of that requires a license.
however, we have an private REST API for admins etc, which you only ever need if you have >100 users -- and likely run a commercial product.

Thanks for pointing this out -- at the end it's about interpretation but we made changes to the readme to be more clear around distribution: https://github.com/calcom/cal.com#setup
TLDR: of course you can clone the repo into a personal folder. When I had the conversation with you I was mostly thinking you are referring to distributing, which is only possible in a public repository.
You can use the code for yourself on your private machine.
This license is specifically targeted against BigTech who have a track record of taking MIT / Apache code, making it proprietary without giving anything back.
See the ongoing Amazon Elasticsearch conflict.
