It is, yes. It's more permissive than the AGPL because it allows you to use SpacetimeDB as a library without licensing your own code under the AGPL. We were trying to solve the problem that there is no Lesser AGPL, and linking is the reason by Google doesn't allow AGPL in their codebase at all:

There is no lesser GPLv2.0, you need a custom linking exception there too.

I wouldn't ordinarily chirp about this because it seems to be such a common typo/mistake but the fact you have a badge for it <https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB/blob/0f1fdf62d0...> as well as typoing it down in the license section <https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB/blob/0f1fdf62d0...> makes it worth pointing out in hopes of correction

The SPDX for BUsiness Source License is BUSL https://spdx.org/licenses/BUSL-1.1.html but the SPDX for Boost Source License is BSL https://spdx.org/licenses/BSL-1.0.html

Based on a search <https://shields.io/search?q=license> it seems you're using the custom badge syntax <https://shields.io/badges/static-badge> so you have influence over the correction
