Wait is Jupyter closed source? I didn't know that. It's disappointing to hear.

Jupyter is definitely open source:

BSD 3-Clause license

.https://jupyter.org/governance/projectlicense/

I do not understand the motivation behind this project or how it differs from Jupyter or Marimo, which are open source and run locally.

Most Jupyter tools are licensed with BSD-3 Clause license [1].

Dang this was my reaction too! I thought a large part of it was open source (i remember the old anaconda days). TIL I guess!
"I made an open-source jupyter alternative" should be read as "I made a jupyter alternative which is also open-source".
as a (very) minor contributor to some parts of the jupyter ecosystem, i can confirm: it is absolutely, 110% open source/BSD-3 licensed!
