Yes that is correct. It is not "OSI approved open-source" it is rather https://faircode.io/ licensed instead which is similar but not the same.

When talking about an open-source IFTTT please always consider Node-Red. I host four instances of it around my life and it's my go-to solution for almost everything.

Four instances?

What kind of tasks are you using them for?

"Apache 2.0 with Commons Clause"

They are free to choose whatever license works for them but this reference to Apache 2.0 is problematic.

What does everyone use IFTTT-style services for? Up until about a month ago I had had an account since the beta, but never really found a use for it beyond something like:

"Hey, Honey! Watch the lights change when it rains!" ¯\_(⌣̯̀⌣́)_/¯
