Tavolo Questions

🔹Post 2: Believing in Accountability
• NocoDB’s founder called TaskMagic a “watered-down” clone. If there’s a real compliance issue, let ActivePieces respond. If not, this confusion delayed our launches — will NocoDB compensate users like me for the impact?
• Tavolo paused sales, responded transparently, & is working toward compliance. That’s ownership.
• Issuing legal threats while redirecting traffic to your page feels ethically off
• Your Decibel article says you want “a billion no-coders.” Then support that publicly, not just in PR
• $21M raised, unclear pricing, pressure to monetize, I genuinely Q how long NocoDB can sustain
• $21M for a database UI layer? Makes me want to learn to build one — and use the rest to solve real problems
• I support transparency. That’s why I’ll back Tavolo — once it’s compliant. It fits my needs better.

🔹Post 1: Transparency Matters

• If Tavolo violated AGPL, why didn’t AppSumo catch it before listing? Users shouldn’t face legal risks post-purchase.
• NocoDB’s pricing says “Free,” but in small font says it may change. With $21M in funding and 3 years live, vague messaging isn’t acceptable.
• Why not clearly list the open-source download? Your own Decibel article boasts millions of downloads and use by Google, Walmart, etc.
• That article also says NocoDB helps non-technical users. Then lead by example — guide us. Don’t hide self-hosted options.
• I joined your Business Plan but will quit if you charge — even $1.
• Open-source isn’t a PR buzzword. It’s a promise. Please honor it.
• Open-source isn’t just legal compliance — it’s about accessibility and honesty. Show it where people decide whether to open their wallet.

You have not presented a single authentic screenshot of your own product. All images appear to be direct copies from the NocoDB Cloud website with only superficial branding changes via image editing.
This is not a derivative implementation; it is an unauthorized replication of protected visual assets, publicly misrepresented as belonging to another entity. There is no visible evidence that this product exists independently nor any indication of compliance with open-source licensing obligations or intellectual property law.

Formal legal notice to AppSumo and prospective buyers: Tavolo is unlawfully commercializing a derivative of https://nocodb.com — an AGPL v3.0 licensed open source project — without attribution, source code release, or license compliance.

Even more concerning, Tavolo’s founder has falsely claimed to be the creator of NocoDB in public comments. In email correspondence, he further stated that Tavolo has been “upfront that it is the open source version of NocoDB” — yet no such disclosure exists in any public-facing material. We have collected and archived timestamped evidence confirming that these claims are completely unsupported and false. This constitutes fraudulent misrepresentation and deceptive commercial conduct.

⚠️ Buyers beware: you're supporting intellectual property theft & fraudulent product representations.
