Well if the intent is that Sourcegraph Core is "for teams of any size", and the code at https://src.sourcegraph.com/sourcegraph is the Core, then it seems like the LICENCE file in the source should be updated to reflect the intent and not say it's limited.

Inside https://src.sourcegraph.com/sourcegraph@master/.tree/LICENSE it has a line that says:

  "Use Limitation: 15 users"

Sourcegraph CEO here. Thanks for the feedback. We are working on making this smoother/clearer, but the way it works is that the license refers to the posted pricing. The posted pricing on Sourcegraph.com says $0 for teams of any size for the non-enterprise features. When you exceed 15 users, there is also a license you'll receive that explicitly says that, but we wanted to keep it simple when you are just getting started (and not require people to click through a EULA).
I guess I'm still confused on what the website says re: pricing and limitations of Sourcegraph Core, and what the LICENSE file in the source code repository says.

The LICENSE file starts:

Fair Source License, version 0.9

Copyright (c) 2015 Sourcegraph Inc.

Licensor: Sourcegraph Inc.

Software: Sourcegraph Core

Use Limitation: 15 users

...

But I think "Sourcegraph Core" is described as teams of any size on the website.

From other comments, I gather that (to make things as confusing as possible) Sourcegraph Core is released under the Fair Source License with a 15 user limitation, but the fee for > 15 users is $0/user, so its basically a free (gratis, not Free/libre) shared-source model.
