The BSL also carries an expiration date (“change date”) after which the licensed work reverts to a more permissive license of the author’s choice (Apache License 2.0 in our case).
This license has been adopted by other commercial open source projects like CockroachDB. ZeroTier’s BSL is based on the Business Source License (BSL) version 1.1 developed by MariaDB. You can self-host ZeroTier controllers and nodes for free if you use it for non-commercial purposes. ZeroTier’s software kit is licensed under the ZeroTier BSL, which allows source code access and free use for all with the exception of hosting a network controller for commercial purposes and/or embedding the ZeroTier source code within or in support of a commercial application.
