Mito is open source, but using Pro features does actually require a Pro or enterprise license. You can check out this callout in the license [1], as well as the restrictions on Mito Pro features here [2]. We're in the process of fixing up the upgrade to Pro process a bit... as you can tell... :)

You can of course fork Mito and turn off telemetry as long as you open source your changes! Go for it - happy to hop on a call and help you get set up with the codebase, if you want. Yay open source!

Mito looks awesome.

Just want to say that I respect the fact that you built this library, are offering it open source, for free, and want the telemetry on. You are up front and open about it.

Sometimes I think people can get a little entitled with all the work someone else puts in to a project they want to use (not accusing GP of this, speaking generally). As you said, under the license anyone is more than welcome to fork, modify and open source. Yay open source indeed :)

Thanks a ton!
You should consider using something other than pip to distribute an installer for the Pro version.
