I can't speak for the OP, but my view is that all these semi-open (AGPL,BSL etc.) licenses do is muddy the waters. Its essentially giving the developer's lawyers enough grey area to work with in order to find something they can pin you on.
IMHO a company's code should either be closed source or open source. Wishy-washy no-mans-land wordings in the middle don't really help anyone (except the lawyer's bank balance, of course).
- vmihailenco 4y agoUptrace uses the BSL license to forbid or rather not allow other companies creating a cloud service using Uptrace code, because that is how we are planning to monetize. But you can self-host Uptrace and use it as you want to monitor your (production) application. I think this is fair enough. If there is another license that better reflects our intentions, let us know.
- preisschild 4y agoWhy do you consider the AGPL semi-open? AGPL is just GPL specific to webservices
