If a 3rd party product advertises compatibility with a Google service and you use it to login via a first party Google login page, doesn’t the responsibility fall somewhere between the offending product and Google itself? In practice it’s structured pretty much like a phishing attempt.

Notably some model providers explicitly allow that very flow, while others will ban you without notice.

If the "3rd party product" is you selfhosting FOSS, then that's you (OpenClaw users)

Why do you call it self-hosting? It appears to be installable app with a fancy homepage. At what point does the software being covered by an open license changes the responsibility model?

That's exactly what self hosting is, you install some app on your own computer host(s).

When you agree to an open license that says you're liable for anything and not the author of the software.
