It also announced that the code will be offered under the PolyForm Shield license, dropping the earlier NDA requirement. Existing accounts older than a year will be able to download a ZIP of the current code base, though verification remains informal.\n\nThese changes matter because they push Uruky closer to the openness of rivals like Kagi while still restricting direct competition. The new image and rewrite tools broaden its appeal beyond text search, and the license shift may attract developers who want to inspect the stack without signing NDAs.\n\nThe move is a calculated risk: a permissive, non‑competition license is harder to enforce, but the service has already passed 100 monthly active users, suggesting the gamble might pay off.","[\"search\",\"open-source\",\"privacy\"]","2026-06-04T08:56:10.000Z","2026-06-04T21:39:03.668Z","2026-06-05T16:22:30.681Z","published",null,[],[25,26,27],"search","open-source","privacy",[29],{"name":30,"url":31},"Hacker News","https:\u002F\u002Furuky.com\u002F?il=en",0]
