The Sentry project, now a large company employing nearly 100 individuals, is re-licensing its software due to concerns about open-source licensing and protection of intellectual property. The team wants to standardize on a single license across all projects, while ensuring that users can freely modify and deploy the code as they currently do. After considering various options, Sentry has adopted the Business Source License (BSL), which provides a balance between openness and IP protection. The BSL has two components: a license grant restriction that prevents commercial use of the software, and a conversion date after 36 months when the code becomes Apache-2.0 licensed. This change aims to protect Sentry's business while allowing it to continue developing and distributing its source code in an open fashion.
