>open source self-hosting It's not open source, at least not the current version. It's under their modified version of the Business Source License: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/blob/master/LICENSE.txt https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/blob/master/LICENSE.... This is, IMO, much better than the typical proprietary license, but it's still not open source, and the license itself says as much: >The Business Source License (this document, or the "License") is not an Open Source license.

This is the same license as CockroachDB and a bunch of other projects. It's used in cases where a company wants to avoid their product being put behind someone else's paywall ("SaaSification"). The AGPL isn't quite good enough and has issues.

Yeah, I should have written something like "source code available for self-hosting". The important point for me isn't really if this is true Open Source or not, but that I usually want (even paid is OK) access to source code so that I can fix things myself, if I have to.
