@galdor Let’s not conflate the #SSPL license that Elastic switched to with the #BSLLicense.
The SSPL is an #AGPL license modified to prohibit competition for eternity.
The BSL is a license that turns into a #GPL2 compatible license within at most 4 years and which the creators, @mariadb, created to ensure their proprietary extensions would be as close to OSS as possible and guaranteed to eventually become full OSS.
Likewise, @getsentry defaults to non-BSL: https://open.sentry.io/licensing/

Another day, another project that uses the #BSLLicense, but which hasn’t understood the requirements it’s setting (change date being too far away in the future and change license being #AGPL, which is not #GPL2 compatible)
Apart from that, #SpacetimeDB looks like a cool project 👏

Found out that #Uptrace, a competitor to #SigNoz, are using #BSLLicense and even have it configured to resolve to Apache 2.0 + have a very generous “Additional Use Grant”: https://github.com/uptrace/uptrace/blob/master/LICENSE
