interesting you used AGPL 3 licensing, are you planning a hosted version?

would've been great with a more liberal license

> are you planning a hosted version

Not in the near term. Right now I am focused on developing Hister rather than operating a hosted service. There are already plenty of centralized hosted search engines, so my longer term interest is in federation and distributed search. I want to make the core system mature first.

> would've been great with a more liberal license

It depends on how do you define liberal. =] I chose AGPLv3+ because I want Hister to remain free software and available to their users.

AGPLv3 is awesome, great choice!

it prevents certain innovations to be derived from it but with LLMs I do think these licensing are pretty much moot.

i still think it could've benefited by Apache 2.0 which more or less gets you to your goals

it would not! asciimoo, thanks for using AGPL, I've been using hister for months now and it helped me a lot
