Jeff Gray quits Moltbook over licensing terms
Jeff Gray, an experienced OT security trainer and veteran in Operational Technology Training, announced his departure from the Moltbook platform on March 16, 2026. The reason for this decision was the licensing terms imposed on users by Moltbook.
Criticism of extensive rights
At the center of the criticism is a clause in the terms of service that grants Moltbook the right to "use, modify, and distribute" user content. Gray expressed his concerns in a tweet about these extensive rights granted to the platform.
Hashtag campaign #openclaw
The incident sparked a reaction in the community, which rallied under the hashtag #openclaw. This appears to point to a broader discussion about platform licenses and user rights. The term "Moltbook" was mentioned multiple times, suggesting some frustration with the platform.
Impact on the platform
The departure of an experienced professional like Jeff Gray could represent an image problem for Moltbook. Especially in the OT security community, where trust and data security play a major role, such incidents could lead to a loss of trust. It remains to be seen whether Moltbook will respond to the criticism and adjust its licensing terms.
