"Open Source" can't just be about using the goodwill of a very desirable common label for software goods. It's an integral part of keeping the developer ecosystem healthy.

And "healthy" can't only be about profitability for companies.

It’s a very interesting time to be in open source. Open source zealots need to realize that open source needs to be reinvented for the new platform architecture, and web 2.0 companies need to remember that open source isn’t just goodwill, but an integral part of keeping the developer ecosystem healthy. And everyone needs to experiment with new models, and not believe that the story has already been written.


"These repositories are available under the same BSL license as Sentry’s core repos."

So... It will *become* open source... eventually... in about 4 years or so.
