"The Business Source License (this document, or the “License”) is not an Open Source license. However, the Licensed Work will eventually be made available under an Open Source License, as stated in this License."
- coder543 5y agoYou seem to be missing the whole point of this thread. They wanted something like a "source trust". The BSL provides something like that, as long as you aren't worried about people breaking the license without concern for legal consequence. The code eventually becomes open source after certain criteria are met. No one in this thread claimed that BSL-licensed code is immediately open source.
