What Hacker News says
6 sourcesThere's some useful context around the https://fair.io/ initiative in this GitHub issue from May: https://github.com/fairsource/fair.io/issues/14
In Source-Available Is MeaninglessThank you for pointing that out, I did a quick read through of that part and missed the intention behind it. I also found the Readme which helps explain the direction things are going. (https://github.com/fairsource/fair.io/blob/main/README.md)
In GitButler is now fair sourceWe had some pretty detailed discussion that you missed out on: https://github.com/fairsource/fair.io/issues/14#issuecomment.... I'm sure SUL would have been right there with ELv2 since it's derived from it. I wish you would have participated. I ultimately relented because I relicensed to the FCL (because I wanted an ELv2 that was DOSP).
Ultimately, DOSP is a good thing and I want to see more companies adopt it under Fair Source.
In Sentry is now Fair SourceI wish you would have been more involved in the discussions [0] [1] leading up to this. I know you were invited to participate, since Chad shared your thoughts a few times via proxy. Regarding your main points:
1. I'm on the governance 'board' for Fair Source, and I am not associated with Sentry. All it took was involvement and deeply caring about the subject (which I know you do).
2a. The requirement for delayed Open Source publication (DOSP) could have been discussed further if there was more involvement from other non-DOSP companies other than me (before I relicensed from ELv2 to FCL). I advocated for ELv2 to be considered Fair Source, but nobody else advocated with me, and I ended up abandoning it for the FCL. I was looking forward to you discussing SUL and how it was a good fit for Fair Source, but you never did.
2b. The lack of opti

ons for self-hosted monetization (e.g. EE/CE offerings) is no longer a problem for Fair Source under the Fair Core License [0], which I drafted alongside Heather Meeker (who helped draft FSL and ELv2) to solve the problem of self-hosted monetization under the FSL or BUSL.
With that said, I think where we landed i.r.t. requiring DOSP makes sense as a differentiation vs open core and "source-available." I was originally vocally against Fair Source requiring DOSP, but the lack of involvement from other companies using ELv2, SSPL, and SUL, made the decision a little bit easier.

Fair Source seems to be pretty bleeding edge:
