is it really FOSS?

A webhook server platform

Nope!
Not FOSS but there are FOSS related licensing, marketing, or transparency issues.

Details

The project is provided under a Server Side Public License which is non-FOSS since it targets specific use-cases (providing the software as a service) by setting requirements far beyond the software itself.

The project readme also sets out additional limitations which don’t seem to be part of the license itself:

You may not circumvent the license key functionality or remove/obscure features protect

The project markets itself as open source on it’s website, within its GitHub description and the project readme.

The project claims to be completely self-funded, with revenue being made from providing paid and service variants of the software.
