Comment on v2.0.0: Stable Release of Immich (complete with Merch and DVD)

I was planning on starting to host my own Immich server for my family. Like I did for other futo projects, I paid, even if there is no technical reason to. Does anyone know what the “sever key”/“client key” thing is? I’m imagining that a client key is what goes in the immich android app, and a server key is what goes in ther server admin console?
The thing is that if I want to be considered as someone who uses FOSS ethically - and I’m hosting for my family - I don’t want each of them to purchase a client key… In my eyes - purchasing a server key in that price should at least give me some leeway, and the small number of clients I plan on supporting would not be considered unlicensed…

It does immich.app/blog/immich-product-keys
But as far as I understand the key doesn’t really go anywhere, it’s just a fancy way to suggest a donation. (And there’s nothing unethical about using FOSS without paying or contributing back in any way)
