Did you actually look at the license, or any of the history of Sentry?
It’s still just as “free” as it has been for years. If anything this makes our commitment to open source _more_ explicit than it was under the BUSL.
On your free-riding point, just because we leverage open source doesn’t mean our software must be as free and open as possible. We use Linux - should it mean everything we build must be Foss? It’s ok if you have a religion about this but thats simply not practical in all software.
Additionally many of us have and continue to give ample time and money to the ecosystem we rely on. I doubt anyone in the Python or Django communities would claim we’re free riders.
When we say free riding we mean other companies. We mean folks who don’t participate in the community and simply want to take work for their own gain while giving nothing back. The industry is not sustainable if that becomes the norm.
