I'm trying to better understand the non-FOSS source-available licenses, and who uses them and why. If you have opinions and feel like sharing them, I'm all ears!

I'm aware of:

• Commons Clause
• Business Source License (BUSL)
• Functional Source License
• Server Side Public License (SSPL) (arguably in some ways a kind of super-strict free software license, but that's just my opinion and I know most of you don't agree with me it's okay we can be friends)
• Fair Core License (see fcl.dev)
• Microsoft's three:
  • Limited Public License
  • Limited Reciprocal License
  • Reference Source License
• Elastic License (did anyone other than Elastic use it? Does even Elastic still use it?)
• There are a few others listed here but I think I've hit the major ones above.

Did I miss anything big? And does anyone know of any notable uses of any of these (other than the uses listed on the Wikipedia page above)? Especially, if there's some flourishing software project that gets incoming contributions using one of them, that would be interesting to know about.
