alt Hacker NewsWe use a BSL for our product (https://morphik.ai) and usually stay away from calling it anything. We'd just say "repo is public at: https://github.com/morphik-org/morphik-core". I like the term fair source, though.
Is it correct to assume that software than eventually becomes open under something like Apache or MIT is fair source? Or is there more subtlety to it?

The concrete definition we came up with and published:
> Fair Source is an alternative to closed source, allowing you to safely share access to your core products. Fair Source Software (FSS):
> - is publicly available to read;
> - allows use, modification, and redistribution with minimal restrictions to protect the producer’s business model; and
> - undergoes delayed Open Source publication (DOSP).
