nostr:npub1dqx842pjn0lqn4lx6mhlf22fwcuhfyxs7dtn70v0pg22hu0087lqzde5zc Hashicorp didn't add one until 2018.
nostr:npub1fdyn7peq0hzwvh9ks05qpx6q0mez64cn2m7nc5rhrm7g3qu99l0q6nh5g8 For older stacks like Vagrant, it's hard to imagine there's not a lot there unless the pre-2018 contributors eventually signed a CLA or whole files had been entirely rewritten from scratch since then.
nostr:npub1fdyn7peq0hzwvh9ks05qpx6q0mez64cn2m7nc5rhrm7g3qu99l0q6nh5g8 Wouldn't that still require those files to continue to be under MPL in the repo and denoted as such?
nostr:npub1fdyn7peq0hzwvh9ks05qpx6q0mez64cn2m7nc5rhrm7g3qu99l0q6nh5g8 Interesting! I wonder what the legal implications are if they didn't get permissions from contributors before then?

nostr:npub1vkuqt3lv6v3zkgjmhecw0mmurzslyyvm6lprmcerk868x58jfpsqldj3f2 It's not an open source compatible license, so it categorically breaks downstream open source code. Red Hat will have to remove it from Openshift, for example.
nostr:npub1tr8grjna872wzjk0d6zjvq2xwnzzurhcfxdkm8d9cpm5na86ar7sdgw0wq They could have gone with AGPL in that case. Part of the problem is that the BUSL is a very vague license. It's up to Hashicorp to consider what they consider competition, which is difficult since Hashicorp is involved in so many spaces. It's also not a common license. It also impacts every single open source project using their code, commercial or otherwise, since it's not an open source compatible license.
