Zoo has said it's open to local hosting of the kernel for years. I believe it's a matter of time because it's mostly about legal tape.

ucad is based on Manifold, so unfortunately, not really comparable, since it's all meshes vs brep, like OpenSCAD.

Note KCL could be completely augmented with another kernel. There are people who've already tried :)

I asked sometime in 2024 and I got a pretty clear response that local/self hosting is not planned.

I'm not sure who you asked, or maybe you asked at the beginning of 2024 but the stance on no-local hosting not a hard one

And they were never heard of, ever again? :-)

Don't they use their own kernel? What legal tape?

[fallat]

They do. The legal tape is more like how to use legal tape to protect it :)
