BSL lets you use all features and self-host as long as you aren't a reseller. It is the best model I've seen.

There is a box for "Open Source - MIT License". You'll notice most of the features are not covered under it.

I feel we are not on the same page. But, good luck with your BSL future
- GitLab went with Open Core and kept most of their features closed source and not available to the community
- Companies that choose BSL provide all their features to the community both from a source available standpoint AND a usage standpoint.
In my opinion BSL is a MUCH better place to be in than the open core model.
If the choice is Open-Core vs Non OSI Approved License(tm) Open-Source, I definitely support the latter.
The OSI needs to be honest and push "OSI Approved Licenses(tm)"... Instead they're like the Simpson's Old Man Yells at Cloud meme, trying to pretend their special interest group has a trademark on "open-source"

Even though they admit that trademark was denied
