Software licensed under the BSLv1.1 is typically gratis, source available, proprietary software from the get go.


The BSLv1.1 is shoddily written, but it seems by default it "turns" into the GPLv2-or-later after 4 years (even then, I'm not sure if the "Change License" mechanism is actually a legally valid way to license copyright).

By the way, the last time I checked, the GPLv2 was a free software license that doesn't say "open" in it.

That's another proprietary license typically used on gratis, source-available, proprietary software.
