I'm not criticizing the price here. It is obviously totally OK to pay for data hosting.

I DO reject the whole concept of having a "hosted-only" software. To me it makes the whole project useless. It means I cannot have my own private or confidential data. I cannot use it in my company, etc. More importantly, the data is not mine anymore. It's yours.
I cannot find any place on your website that explains what happens to the data once it is uploaded! As far as I'm concerned, it means I am giving you my data, for free, without any restriction on your side. You can resell it, modify it, rebrand it, prevent me from accessing it. Since there is no mention of how the data is stored, I also cannot know if the data is encrypted on your side, or have the capability to read everything that is uploaded.
We need to clarify the EULA and terms on the website. The data belongs to the users and we want to keep it that way. Quilt is not "hosted-only". The whole point of the on-prem install is that customers can run Quilt on their own infrastructure (it's Dockerized, etc.). We'll roll out a more formal on-prem solution as the project evolves. We're doing one thing at a time right now :)

Does it mean you plan to include in the EULA that Quilt will not parse, read, sell or otherwise use the data that users upload?

Yes, and on premise is not possible at the moment, and on the website it is marketed the same a business use.
Anyway, I lost my cool a bit on previous comments, thanks for keeping yours, and good luck :)
