LanguageTool is not open source; it is open core. There are proprietary "premium rules," and you won't get them in a self-hosted version.


Self hosted & open core seems distinctly better than an open wrapper around a black box core that's hosted by a 3rd party.


They use the LGPL license for a lot of their work.
