Steven Deobaldthe boozle has always been a bad license template (the busl itself isn't a license). there are many things wrong with it, but this is one of the worst.

"source available" is always a scam.

Jarkko SakkinenThe whole #redis situation has gotten me thinking of licenses. Far more than I would like. 🫠
I'm now of the camp either do strong #copyleft, like #AGPL, or don't do #FOSS. Go for something like #BUSL or #FSL instead.
Everything else in between seems to break apart and be taken advantage of. ⚰️ By both the license holder and the copies. 😅
Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬#OpenSource in Numbers: #Terraform License Change Impact on Contribution
Increase in pull requests after change to #BSL might seem like positive sign. However, data reveals nuanced picture. Evaluation captures 30-day preceding and following date of #BUSL license change (Aug 10) marked significant drop in community contributions, with only 9.30% of all pull requests being opened by the community. This downtrend persisted into September, with nearly identical rate of 9.52%. https://thenewstack.io/open-source-in-numbers-the-terraform-license-change-impact-on-contribution/

Changelog🚢 New Changelog interview!
This week we’re talking about the launch of #OpenTF and what it’s going to take to successfully fork HashiCorp’s #Terraform 🍴
We’re joined by Josh Padnick to discuss what exactly happened, how #HashiCorp’s license change changes things, who has been impacted by this change, and ultimately what they are doing about it 💪
OpenTF for an open Terraform with Josh Padnick (Changelog Interviews #556)

Still a bit gutted by the #hashicorp move to #busl 1.1. I completely understand their reasoning, but dammit does that emit #FUD. 😔
I don't expect hashicorp to do anything ill advised. But it's not them I'm worried about. It's any goliath coming along to scoop them up. Too many times this happened with excellent software companies. Moving to a far worse direction due to the licensing. ⚰️
Looking at you #Oracle. 😡 Still upset at that one for like 1000th time.

Looks like #HashiCorp is keeping the 1.9 branch of #Packer under the #MPL-2.0, and I assume 1.10(?) will use the #BUSL-1.1 license.
Building 1.9.3 for #COPR soon...
Mike 🐧 :fedora: :centos: (@[email protected])
As a result of the #HashiCorp licensing change, all utilities from them in my #COPR will be frozen at their latest version. - #Terraform 1.5.5 - #Packer 1.9.2 Based on the Not-Allowed license list for @fedora the Business Source License (BUSL-1.1) is strictly forbidden. As COPR requires compliance with Fedora guidelines, there's not much I can do here. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/not-allowed-licenses/
