Well done Meredydd and team. This makes Anvil a much more friendly investment for those who can't risk losing a service or can't run on a public cloud.


Note the licensing.


What does it mean? Is it a sort of Lesser-Affero GPL, where the runtime is open source but it can be linked and distributed with other Anvil proprietary apps?


Former user, definitely returning to it again now. Despite loving the tools, not having the complete code stifled me too much and not being able to host where I needed to pushed me away about a year ago. Looking forward to seeing the improvements they have made.

Great low code technology! This should accelerate usage
