  Corporate blog spam doesn't magically make the BSL OSS: https://mariadb.com/bsl11/ https://mariadb.com/bsl11/ > 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.

    I would argue (and have previously) that BSL is open source, it's just being held in escrow. So it has been released to open source... just that source hasn't been released to the public. (BSL triggers after a max of 4 years into irrevocable OSS). I think the real issue is that people want more community driven OSS. Stuff that is collaboratively built and not built for a commercial purpose. They want something I think along the lines of KDE where there are paid people to work on it, but it's also contributed to by a community and there isn't someone constantly trying to a make a buck off of it.

      That funding still requires corporate patronage, which is overwhelmingly from companies that are monetizing via proprietary software Where is this community funding supposed to come from? Would OP here really personally donate to a team making a secrets management tool? It's turtles all the way down

      One problem with running x-year-old releases of web applications are bugs and vulnerabilities that have been discovered and fixed in those years. Are many people running the 3 year old, now properly OSS versions of Sentry in production? Using BSL strikes me as trying to have a cake but eat it too: look, we're good open source guys using an open license. Feel free to use our code, but only after it is well beyond its best before date!
