[Fedora-legal-list] Review and Guidance needed - licenses transforming based on time

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I'd like a review of 'MariaDB Business Source License (BSL)'.
Here is a specific instance of the license:
  https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/MaxScale/blob/24.02/licenses/LICENSE2106.TXT
Here is FAQ about it:
  https://mariadb.com/bsl-faq-mariadb/

TL;DR:
the license says it's non-free, but it becomes free (GPL in this case)
after a specific time.

Apart from this specific case, I'd like to hear your guidance in
similar cases in general - whether they are mostly accepted or rather
avoided (by Fedora), as more licenses with this idea exists, e.g.:
https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/blob/master/LICENSE.md
