What we couldn't confirm3
- Whether the desktop app, CLI and API are all under Apache-2.0 or whether any parts are separately licensed.
- Exact features of Claude Cowork and ChatGPT agent, so the depth of the replacement match cannot be confirmed.
- Whether the AI providers it connects to (such as Anthropic or OpenAI) require paid accounts or API keys beyond the software itself.
