The PR should not merge until the local-model FAQ is corrected; the Flowise licensing answer should also be aligned with the article’s qualified wording.

Findings

1.  Local Models Misstated ▶
2.  Flowise License Overgeneralized ▶

Summary

This PR adds a new long-form library comparison of six self-hosted AI workflow platforms and its accompanying cover image.

• Compares licensing, deployment, model access, integrations, observability, governance, and operating effort.
• Adds FAQ metadata and links to related Sim library comparisons.
• Contains one incorrect Enterprise restriction for local-model access and one internally inconsistent description of Flowise licensing.

Local Models Misstated

This FAQ says local-model access requires an approved Enterprise configuration. However, standard self-hosted deployments expose the ungated OLLAMA_URL setting, and this article later presents local Ollama as a normal self-hosted option. Readers could therefore be incorrectly told that Enterprise is required for a capability available through ordinary self-hosting.

Suggested change

	a: "Sim supports local or private model access only through approved Enterprise configurations, so standard self-hosting should not be assumed to include unrestricted local-model access."
	a: "A configured self-hosted Sim deployment can connect to a local Ollama endpoint, but self-hosting should not be assumed to make every deployment offline or air-gapped."

Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

Flowise License Overgeneralized

This answer presents both Sim and Flowise as Apache 2.0 platforms without qualification, while the rest of the article explains that only most Flowise code is Apache-licensed and that enterprise components and marked files use commercial terms. This inconsistency could mislead readers into believing the entire Flowise distribution is available under Apache 2.0.

Suggested change

	a: "Sim and Flowise use the Apache License 2.0, an OSI-approved permissive open-source license."
	a: "Sim uses the Apache License 2.0, while Flowise applies Apache 2.0 to most code but commercially licenses its enterprise components and explicitly marked files."
