So it sounds like you just go open source and let people host their own bot

You can already do that. People who want to do that aren't using BotGhost.

I was under the impression that writing a third party client was against TOS, and don't you have to write a client to get your bot to interact with the server?

No. Discord has an official and formalized bot API.

Well, you can do that or use the bot API, the one Discord just told BotGhost to stop using.
