Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Other

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.6+

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

all

Browser (if applicable)

No response

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

That https://pypi.org/project/open-webui/ does not show Open WebUI as using the MIT license.

As per https://docs.openwebui.com/license/, Open WebUI now uses a different license based on 3-clause BSD, but is not OSI-approved.

Actual Behavior

PyPI says Open WebUI uses the MIT license

Steps to Reproduce

Visit https://pypi.org/project/open-webui/0.6.15/

Additional Information

I believe part of this is due to b5f4c85bb1/pyproject.toml (L142)
