Looks very interesting, but calling it Open Source is misleading. BSL is not "minimal Amazon defense". It effectively prevents any meaningful dynamic functionality to be built on top of it without a commercial subscription.
- stsffap 2y agoWe tried to design the additional usage grant (https://github.com/restatedev/restate/blob/39f34753be0e27af8f2a0c651c14099d5538d23f/LICENSE#L8-L18 https://github.com/restatedev/restate/blob/39f34753be0e27af8...) as permissive as possible. Our intention is to only prevent the big cloud service providers from offering Restate as a managed service as it has happened in the past with other open source projects. If you find the additional usage grant still too restrictive, then let us talk how to adjust it to enable you while still maintaining our initial intention.
- senorrib 2y agoOur use case is to allow users to customize workflows based on a few building blocks. Think of an ERP that would allow users to add or remove steps or different paths to their payroll workflow, for example. The wording in the additional grant labels software like this as an Application Platform Service -- which is fair, and perhaps intended, but we're still not a big cloud service provider.
