Hello, are we allowed to use TypeSense in an MIT licensed project if we are just hosting TypeSense in a docker container? I'm not overly familiar with the GPL license, please advise! Thanks!\

Yup, that’s fine. GPL only kicks in if you modify the source code for Typesense itself. If you’re just running Typesense via Docker, there’s no issues with using it with an MIT licensed project
