Business Source License

Definitions

1. A source-available license that restricts some commercial use for a period before eventually converting to a more permissive license.

   In plain English: A license that shows source code but limits certain commercial uses at first.

   Example: "The project was visible on GitHub, but the Business Source License meant it was not standard open source."
