Can you please clarify what you mean by "mito is open-source"?

Last time I checked the code was under a proprietary license.

Edit: I found in another comment below that mito is now available under GPL license here: https://github.com/mito-ds/monorepo/blob/dev/LICENSE

Edit2: Just saw your answer now - thanks for the clarification and links!

Mito is licensed [1] under the AGPL liscence. The TLDR of the license is that you can use, distribute, and modify Mito for free, but any modifications that you make need to be shared back with the Mito community.

There is an additional version of Mito, Mito Pro, that is licensed under a different license that provides access to advanced functionality only if you are paying for a Mito Pro / Enterprise subscription.

Does AGPL mean it can only be used in a notebook for which the notebook itself is open source?

Or does it mean it can only be used with notebook software (eg. Jupyter) that is open source but in a closed source notebook?
