    Discontinued Functional Source License (FSL) [Moved to: https://github.com/getsentry/fsl.software]

    • FSL has less ambiguity when compared to BUSL. Each variation of BUSL is essentially its own unique license due to the variable Additional Use Grant. For example, a company could not pre-approve BUSL as an acceptable license for the company, because all BUSL licenses will have a different Acceptable Use Grant. On the contrary, FSL is new license that can be pre-approved since it has no variables. It's an improvement upon BUSL. I personally like it, although I won't be moving from ELv2 to FSL due to another reason [0].

    If they're going to all this trouble for "ambiguity," I don't know why they wouldn't further extend their custom SPDX identifier to include the "2 year" rollover, since that's one of their pearl-clutching reasons for this bullshit: https://github.com/getsentry/loose-confederation/issues/4

    Functional Source License (FSL)

    • > The main issue of such a license is that you can't fork the project when they go in a direction that you don't like.

    As long as it's not a Competing Use, yes, you can [0]. I don't get why so many people think you can't fork a project that uses BUSL, SSPL, ELv2, and now FSL. Just like any other OSS licenses, you can fork. And you just like any other OSS fork, you can't relicense.

    It's obvious people don't actually read the license.
