Sentry started life in 2008 as an unlicensed, 71-line Django plugin. The next year we began publishing it under BSD-3, and ten years later…

Sentry has moved to a new license for its products called Functional Source License, and explains in this article the story of the licensing for these products and why they throw BSL for FSL.

    I disagree. With licenses that are “straight proprietary”, it’s obviously whats going on. The FSL is proprietary but tries to gaslight you into thinking that maybe its kinda not. That’s clearly worse because it relies on manipulation and can only ever be useful to someone acting in bad faith.
