We don't really advertise ourselves as a Notion alternative, however Outline probably fulfills this promise a little better and can be self hosted + collaborative editing, translated into 12+ languages and has 5 years of active development.

PSA: for those of us who have moved to Obsidian, its Outliner plugin does a fantastic job of providing the central AppFlowy UX atop the myriad benefits of Obsidian's approach to local markdown files etc.
Not an open source license
So? They said "Notion alternative", and Notion isn't open-source either.

Assuming any GitHub link is FOSS might get you into trouble eventually, there are a wide variety of licenses out there!
