Will be very interesting to see how it plays out. I'm yet to see the database technology completely licensed as BSL to be successful in Open Source strategy.
Elastic made change after it was very popular, MariaDB is same story, and even more so only uses BSL for "Enterprise" components which have very little community adoption.
We see however other folks, such as Neon picking permissive license for their technology https://github.com/neondatabase/neon https://github.com/neondatabase/neon
I think for Open Source Project just starting up concern of "Clouds will steal my lunch" is just stupid. If you're worth for clouds to Adopt you're in 0.1% of all Open Source Projects and already "winning" You can WHEN revisit your license, think how to get to that point, rather than create adoption barriers early on
