at grafana labs, we are still pretty torn on what our go forward licensing regime should be.

bsl is interesting, but license proliferation and familiarity is a big factor to consider.

now that both elastic and mongo are both using sspl, it is more appealing. i think tsl from timescale is also a great and well thought out license.

Interesting. I got the impression from the recent announcement that Grafana Labs had something of a revenue sharing model with the new AWS managed offering of Grafana. Given that, I wouldn't think the SSPL restrictions would be as important.

we do indeed have a partnership with aws around grafana. but the cloud landscape goes beyond aws, and the grafana labs landscape goes beyond grafana itself.

it's definitely a nuanced discussion internally.

I like Grafana and I wish you the best. Source-available to me is basically FOSS unless I want a free ride off your hard work.
