I wonder if BSL becomes the new standard for open source commercial products. It's a good trade-off between freedom and real world business pressure.

- nickstinemates 6y agoDoubt it. Lots of aversion to the license given its limited use and some ambiguous terms/education around the various windows.
- npiit 6y agoI think it can be, I know a few other potentially successful examples like CockroachDB and ZeroTier. The BSL license makes the entire project basically FOSS for you and me, but not for the big sharks. Which I guess is much better for the world compared to open-core and of course proprietary SaaS.
