Can I white label mattermost?

I'm looking for clarity on the question of whether your rather confusing license permits white labeling mattermost.

I first started an issue on github about this (id 2464, I can just include 2 links in this post), which was answered with a vague "not recommended for security reasons" and then immediately closed. I opened another issue (id 2467) which was then answered with a lengthy text saying that github is not the place to ask questions about white labeling (which is of course true) and that this has already been discussed at length on the forums, with a reference to this thread in which there is no clear answer and even the OP concludes that he still doesn't know what your policy is on white labeling.

Seeing that you advertise Mattermost as the "open source, self-hosted Slack-alternative" and you are easy to mention the MIT license, I assumed white labeling is not a problem. But it turns out that only your compiled versions are governed by the MIT (seriously.. a compiled blob under MIT?), your source code has little to do with the MIT-license and is governed by some kind of weird combination of the AGPL with exceptions and a mixin with commercial licenses.

To clear this confusion I call on @it33 (or somebody else from the Mattermost team) to please clearly answer my question:

Can I white label mattermost?

If not, please be transparent about it and tell me what I can do with the source code in this area? And also, what's your pricing on white labeling?

Looking forward to your response.
