Henri Bergius (NoFlo, Midgard) relicensed his projects from MIT/LGPL to the EUPL-1.2 — an OSI-approved, EU-backed copyleft whose obligations extend to software offered over a network, closing the "SaaS loophole". Relevant when selecting self-hostable tools: license class is a deliberate maker choice, and network-copyleft (EUPL/AGPL) affects hosted redistribution, not internal self-hosting.

## Notes

- Primary-source blog post (2026-09-06); EUPL-1.2 OSI approval is public record. No tool entry — this is licensing/governance news for an OSS-tools audience.
