Are there AGPL or BSL success stories? (Ie. projects that started as such and became/remained sustainable?)

The whole Grafana ecosystem afaik. They are thriving as a company and they don’t risk amazon or some other company coming in and selling a forked version of their software (see redis/valkey, elasticsearch/opensearch, etc)

A little off-topic but a few companies (e.g. Aerospike) use AGPL in the free versions of their paid products to avoid getting leeched off.
