Description
Reading through the LICENSE reveals the following egregious error:
The LICENSE uses MariaDB Business Source License (BSL) 1.1 template. As such, the permission to use the BSL 1.1 template is strictly bound by the adherence to the Covenants of Licensors; specifically, Covenant 2:
Covenants of Licensor
In consideration of the right to use this License’s text and the “Business
Source License” name and trademark, Licensor covenants to MariaDB, and to all
other recipients of the licensed work to be provided by Licensor:
[...]
2. To either: (a) specify an additional grant of rights to use that does not
impose any additional restriction on the right granted in this License, as
the Additional Use Grant; or (b) insert the text “None”.
LICENSE as of fa452f2 is not granted permission to use the BSL 1.1 template due to not inserting verbatim "None" (Covenant 2, (b)) as well as requiring separate contracts for "Production use" which directly contradicts "does not impose any additional restriction on the right granted in this license" (Covenant 2, (a)), as seen below.
Additional Use Grant: None. Production use of the Licensed Work is only permitted
if you have entered into a separate written agreement
with CodeFlash Inc. for production use in connection
with a subscription to CodeFlash's Code Optimization
Platform. Please visit codeflash.ai for further
This effectively nullifies the permission to use the BSL 1.1 template. Thus, the repository is currently distributing MariaDB's copyrighted legal text without authorisation and leaving the client's actual licensing status legally ambiguous.
