I haven't read this license but I wished they had at least gone with the BASL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Source_License

IANAL, but AFAICT the BASL is not open-source, but it is _eventually_-open-source is in the source will automatically transition to being open source (GPL v2 or compatible... not sure if either BSD or AGPL work).

But if you are going to go source available, license proliferation is still a problem, please try to maintain sanity.

The SPDX identifier for Business Source License is BUSL: https://spdx.org/licenses/BUSL-1.1.html

I have never seen anyone refer to it as "BASL".

Too late to edit it now, thanks for the correction. I knew there was a vowel in there and it was just "BSL" as the Wikipedia page has it. My bad.
