But not foss. It's using the BSL or FSL or whatever.

Although I do not like those licences, I would not care so much about 2yrs until it goes FOSS. Before all this rush development RRDTool and OpenTSDB was so slow, this whole thing seems rather ideological than substantial criticism. Now going down the licence rabbit hole based to criticise the original argument seems like a classical strawman.

Just want to say I appreciate your stance.

(also no one should feel like they have to contribute to our SDKs, but please file a ticket if somethings fucked up and we'll deal w/ it)

I was supporting a variation in my head of the "Yeah but who wants to contribute to an SDK for a service that you need to pay for?" claim.

You can self-host for free, so maybe @hahn-kev don't mind contributing to the SDK now.

For me, I refuse to contribute to an open-source SDK for a non-foss product. And I refuse to self-host a non-foss product.

Personally, I don't care if non-foss licenses speeds development. So yeah in my case it's ideological.

https://glitchtip.com/ is an Open Source form of Sentry created after they went closed source, if you are interested in something like that.
