Business Source License (BSL) offers all the fundamental open-source rights: the right to inspect, the right to repair, and the right to improve. Even though most of the Open Source Initiative (OSI) criteria are met, BSL is not certified as an open-source license. Regardless, all the features that fall under the BSL are free to use, and the source code is available. However, users may not develop a competing product or host Memgraph as a service without an agreement with Memgraph. Hosting Memgraph as a service means creating an offering that allows third parties (other than your employees and contractors) to operate a database.
Business Source License is time-limited for four years, and after that time, the license converts to a standard Apache License 2.0. The four-year restriction is applied to each new Memgraph Community Edition release and works on a rolling basis.
Even though BSL by default is restrictive, Additional Use Grants allow you to use it for production. Hence, you can use it freely except for building a competing Database as a Service offering. You can also use Memgraph for commercial use. However, BSL will not have all the security Enterprise features.
