Risk explanation

Open WebUI can route prompts, files, and chat history across local and third-party model backends, so verify provider settings and access controls before using it with sensitive material; The repository uses a mixed license history and the current Open WebUI License rather than a single standard SPDX license, so teams should review license fit before building it into commercial products.
