We are in a similar position and probably survive mostly through luck despite having vendors that sell our Open Source SaaS without contributing anything meaningful back.

In our particular case I don't think the BSL would work for us, but I definitely understand and support Sentry going this route. FWIW, we have been using Sentry for almost a decade and while we started off hosting our own server we quickly saw the advantage in paying for it instead (and we were happy to do so).

It's a tough thing to balance for sure, they have been one of the players we watch to see how Open Source SaaS can work and I wish them luck.
