Appsmith
Appsmith is a builder for internal tools. You drag a form or a table and connect it to SQL or an HTTP API. The community edition is Apache-2.0. You can run it yourself. It does not import a Power Apps canvas.
Open source means you can use, change, and share the code.
The community edition on GitHub is Apache-2.0. Appsmith also sells a commercial edition.
