New software license by @getsentry : Functional Source License (FSL) https://blog.sentry.io/introducing-the-functional-source-license-freedom-without-free-riding/

A "Delayed Open Source Publication" (DOSP) license like BUSL, but makes some opinionated choices to ease compliance: 2-year period to open source (Apache 2.0 or MIT) and clarifications around allowed purposes.

The discussion happened in the open: https://github.com/getsentry/fsl.software/issues/4

Not that I still use #mIRC myself (I primarily switched to #WeeChat in a terminal), but @Siiw was still been using it daily with one of the 2 single-user licenses I bought back in 2010.
It wasn't till her PC config changed today, that the app suddenly complained and refused her license.

From what I read online, you can't even decide to stick to an older version from before this license change.
