Why do you say unilaterally? MariaDB wrote the BSL, not us. Sentry is far from the only company with the problem of wanting to open-source its core products without exposing itself to the risk of other companies cannibalizing our business model without contributing to product development. This is an existential threat and the BSL protects us from it so we can keep improving Sentry.
- Terretta 3y ago"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." BSL doesn't try to redefine open source, it's clear it's transitional. So you're trying to do something MariaDB didn't do and the BSL doesn't do.
