Business Source License: report the 'change license'

Open armijnhemel opened this issue 6 months ago • 8 comments

Short Description

The Business Source License has a so called "change license". It might be useful to report this, as it could be important information.

Of course, the business source license is a crappy license that should be avoided at all costs, but the code is being used.

Possible Solution/Implementation Details

The business source license examples I have seen so far are very structured, so parsing it should not be too difficult, although there is variation (some use SDPX, others don't).

Example/Links if Any

Can you help with this Feature
