What's Good
GPL-3.0 core. Plugin architecture: SIP, VideoRoom, streaming, recording, and more. Battle-tested Meetecho gateway. Commercial options exist from Meetecho; OSS self-host is the free path.
The Catch
Plugin-core C gateway — not LiveKit/mediasoup opinionated rooms products. You pick plugins and ops the gateway. Distinct from LiveKit, mediasoup, PeerJS, and Pion.
Verdict
GPL-3.0 WebRTC gateway. Self-host free; commercial options exist — pitch the OSS core.
