If you'd like to use Typebot without open-sourcing your modified code, you can purchase a commercial license to remove the copyleft restrictions and in that way support the original project. Contact me at baptiste@typebot.io. You can host and use Typebot without restrictions. Your contributions to improve Typebot and fix bugs are welcome. 💙
