1. If you want better adoption especially among corporations, GPL-3 wont cut it. Maybe think of some business friendly licenses (MIT etc)

2. I understand the excitement about llm's. But how about making something more accessible to people with regular machines and not state of art. I use rip-grep-all (rga) along with fzf [1] that can search all files including pdfs in a specific folders. However, I would like a GUI tool to

   (a) search across multiple folders, 

   (b) provide priority of results across folders, filetypes and 

   (c) store search histories where I can do a meta-search. 
This is sufficient for 95% of my usecases to search locally and I don't need LLM. If khoj can enable such search as default without LLM that will be a gamechanger for many people without a heavy compute machine or who dont want to use OpenAI.

Just a note to suggest that giving away your hard work to those who will profit from it in the hope that they will remember you later seems like a pretty dubious exchange.

Have a look at how that worked out for the folks who built node and its libraries versus the ones who maintained control of their work (like npm).


What happened there. Surely the people who built node (or the people building the most popular fork at least) get to define what the default package manager is etc. and get some BATNA against the likes of a 3rd party package manager profiting from their thing. I don't know what the node/npm relationship story is though.


If corporations have no issue with using restrictive proprietary licenses, they should not have any issues with the GPL.


That seems like a pretty trivial thing to implement. Why not do it yourself?
