Eventually open source is something I really do like, but it should have clear, measurable and open milestones for doing so. Like Open Accounting to show ‘if we reach 100k’ or something like that. Or if we reach 1000 contributors or if we reach 50k in donations. One thing bloody ETH would be useful for; it would be impossible to hide and you cannot change your mind on when the switch flips.

It’s all there in the license: https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/blob/main/LICENSE. It reverts to Apache-2.0 after four years of the release of a particular version, or on 2026-01-01, whichever comes first.

(This means that if the Change Date is not altered before then, none of SurrealDB will be BSL any more come 2026.)

Yep, I saw it; edited my other comments to say it's there. Nice one!
