Why, quite clearly:

> Organizations providing competitive offerings to HashiCorp will no longer be permitted to use the community edition products free of charge under our BSL license. Commercial licensing terms are available and can enable use cases beyond the BSL limitations.

Looks to me very similar to (A)GPL + commercial dual licensing, for instance.

I wish they'd just use the AGPL then.

There are many of us who regard the AGPL as a nonfree license, just like the BSL.

Quite clearly? That is extremely vague and leaves up to Hashicorp’s interpretation and could change as Hashicorp’s portfolio expands.

In other words: if you have doubts, the answer is "no".

GPL permits this: "Organizations providing competitive offerings to HashiCorp will no longer be permitted to use the community edition products free of charge"
