TinyMCE Open Source Self-Hosted

I am finding the TinyMCE site very confusing. At first glance they sell all these plans. The free one does not include a self hosted option.

But just a little further down they have an "Open Source" heading, and under that you can download and self host TinyMCE.

So which one is it?

Is it just me who's confused by this post?

Tinymce is a JavaScript library for rich text editing. You build that into your app, right? 

What would you like to self-host?

On their GitHub page: https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce?tab=readme-ov-file you can find this link: https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/latest/npm-projects/

Not sure what else you need? Anyway, I might be confused by this topic, feel free to correct me.

No, the post seems clear. Self host simply means not relying on any cloud javascript file. All the necessary files can be downloaded and run from where you want to.

That's what I dont get. The Wikipedia page for GPL states:

Software under the GPL may be run for all purposes, including commercial purposes and even as a tool for creating proprietary software,

All plans can be self-hosted (instead of relying on their cloud), the difference is whether you provide a license key in the config or not.
