The licensing for this is confusing. :(

eg:

https://muzejs.org/muze-wa/eula

  Reverse engineering: You may not reverse engineer or
  disassemble the Software.
However, there's a GitHub repo for it, as if it's pretending to be OSS:

https://github.com/chartshq/muze

https://github.com/chartshq/muze/blob/master/LICENSE <-- same heavily restricted license as above

Was wondering the same.

Not sure what is the point of having .org website here.

We started with the JavaScript version of Muze, which is open-source (MIT). Hence the .org. For the WASM version also, we'll open-source (just not right now - waiting to build a few more modules, to monetize the enterprise ones, to bring sustainability into the project).
MIT GitHub link repo says code deprecated.
In the JS version (MIT), we're currently doing bug fixes only. Hence, we've marked it as deprecated.

The new features are in WASM repo, which will be open source later.

Hi,

The JS version is open-source and MIT (https://github.com/chartshq/muze-deprecated)

The WebAssembly version is free (but not open source, yet!)

Will it become open source?
Yes, we'll make it open-source, but not right away.

We're working on building some more modules (of which we'll monetize some of the enterprise ones, to bring sustainability into the project). Post that, we'll be releasing this as Open-source.
