      User-friendly WebUI for LLMs. Note on licensing: Code in Open WebUI prior

      to version 0.5.5 was MIT licensed. Since version 0.6.6, the project has

      adopted a modified BSD-3-Clause license that includes branding requirements

      and whose relicensing process from MIT has raised concerns within the community.

      Nixpkgs treats this custom license as non-free due to these factors.
