    Functional Source License (FSL)

  • It feels like you intentionally omitted his immediate follow-up to your quoted comment:

    > > my theory about embrace/extend/extinguish seems to be as accurate as I thought.

    > This is confused. Embrace/extend/extinguish means to initially participate in an open standard and then extend the standard in such a way that the non-extended version is sidelined.

    I'd encourage people to read the entire thread rather than seize on the cherry-picked comment, additionally loaded with terminology like "they want to destroy open source", which doesn't appear in the original thread.

    I can't speak for whit537, but I do work at Sentry, and I feel your comments about our intentions are disingenuous. We are open in that we feel the existing models don't fit our needs, and we're trying to evolve the language to make non-compete licenses more approachable and thus more mainstream.

    Note that the FSL is developed in the public, and echoes the language I've used above[1]. But if you believe pursuing additional licensing mechanisms means we're destroying OSS, there is probably little I can do to disavow you of that notion.

  • self-hosted

    Sentry, feature-complete and packaged up for low-volume deployments and proofs-of-concept

  • The people we're concerned about are not the hundreds of thousands of Sentry users, including those that self-host.

    We're concerned about people who have taken the software for the purposes of competing directly against us, that hinders our ability to monetize the work. Monetizing the work helps us continue improving the software and distribute it for free use, benefitting those aforementioned real users (e.g. https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted).
