Listen, you can (and should!) use whatever license you feel works best for your business.

But the trickery around calling the BSL "Open Source" (now "open-source") in the blog post is a very bad look.

The BSL license - in your own repos [0] - has this text:

> The Business Source License (this document, or the "License") is not an Open Source license.

The "change date" is 2026-06-31 and the BSL allows one, at that time, to re-license under a real open source license.

What you're doing amounts to a pre-announcement of open sourcing something 3 years from now. To say it's "now open-source" as the blog post currently claims is quite misleading.
