You receive all the same rights as the classic BSD-3 license: you can use, modify, and distribute the software, including in proprietary and commercial products, with minimal restrictions. The only additional requirement is to preserve the “Open WebUI” branding, as detailed in the LICENSE file. For full terms, see the LICENSE document.

    The license seems to me to say that you can use, modify, redistribute Open-WebUI as you want, but you can’t change the branding unless your instance has <= 50 users (or a couple other conditions are met).







  • As others said, Searxng is a search proxy. Any given instance can be configured to return results from vary many sources. Why would the results vary with repeated identical search? Not sure, but perhaps a bit of randomness is in the algorithm of which sites yo return results from, or which order to display them in. Also possible: latency may vary and so for each search a different result set is retrieved first.












  • Thanks for the explanations, @[email protected].

    I introduced myself to tools/functions in Open-WebUI: there is a community library of tools/functions and you can essentially copy/paste them into Open-WebUI and then they’re available there. If I understand correctly, tools add functionality to models and functions add functionality to Open-WebUI.

    I’m still confused, though: if I add a web search tool to Open-WebUI (some do exist), I would guess that it could only ever add functionality to the model if I access the model through Open-WebUI - but HA is accessing the model directly through Ollama.
