Thanks Simon! Denobox looks very cool: Deno's permissions model is a natural fit for this.

On the licensing: totally fair point. Our intention is to open source the WASM too. The binary is closed for now only because we need to clean up the source code before releasing it as open-source. The Python SDK and capability layer are MIT. We wanted to ship something usable now rather than wait. Since the wasm binary runs in wasmtime within an open source harness, it is possible to audit everything going in and out of the wasm blob for security.

Genuinely open to feedback on this. If the split license is a blocker for your use cases, that's useful signal for us.

That's great to hear. The split license is a blocker for me because I build open source tools for other people to use, so I need to be sure that all of my dependencies are things I can freely redistribute to others.
