It combines free foundational components with optional commercial plans offering additional features and support. It is indexed under Frontend UI Frameworks.","source":"https://mui.com/pricing/","question":"What is MUI?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"MUI is open source, so it can be self-hosted and used at no licence cost.

Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as MUI not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.","source":"https://mui.com/legal/privacy/","question":"What security certifications does MUI have?","confidence":0.7},{"answer":"Yes. MUI is published under the MIT licence, a permissive licence that generally allows commercial use and modification.

Qwik is offered as cloud / SaaS and hybrid, and a hybrid deployment usually means some components can run on your own infrastructure while the rest stays vendor-hosted.
