When a company gives you a license that has terms written in it, that license is binding... on them as well as you. When a company gives you a document that refers to an FAQ that they can change on the fly to meet their needs, and make changes to it, that is a signal that they do not view the license's terms as binding on them. Only on you (the user / developer working on an integrated or derivative work.)
The license that grants you permission to use the software as long as you remain on the right side of this line, which we can move as we deign it necessary to move the line is not much of a license grant. I just heard it called "bullshit license" and I think that's the best explanation for what BSL actually stands for now.
I support Hashicorp's right to make money from their business, but I think these lawyers are in over their head. It doesn't make much sense to me. We'll have to see who gets a license grant from Hashi and how much they're going to pay for it.
