Review the modified license and external-provider data flows

The LICENSE adds commercial restrictions on top of Apache-style terms, including certain enterprise distribution/SaaS/product/brand uses; GitHub therefore reports NOASSERTION. Cloud models and MCP servers can also receive conversation/knowledge/tool context.

Supplemental curator note

5ire combines multiple model providers and MCP tools in one desktop UI. Its LICENSE is a modified Apache-2.0-style license with additional commercial-use restrictions, so it should not be treated as standard Apache-2.0.
