Is Tabby coding assistant proprietary?
I found this post about an "open-source" coding assistant called Tabby: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/13830988
I can't comment there, because I guess my instance is defederated from them. But I've noticed something in the license that made me think it might be proprietary software:

What do you think? It seems to me that this is a huge restriction on user's 4 essential freedoms.
