The CEO of developer startup Sentry explains the huge change it made to its business to prevent Amazon and other startups from profiting off its code
. The most dramatic weapons have come in the form of new software licenses, which place restrictions and limits on how others, especially cloud providers, can use their software.
After meeting with the Cockroach Labs team, Sentry decided on BSL because it was the "best compromise we found." In addition, the vast majority of contributions to Sentry's code are from its own employees, Cramer says, meaning that there was limited risk from alienating its community. "Open source means wildly different things to different people," Cramer said. "Open source could mean this was built by the community. Open source to a lot of people means free. The hardcore definition is you can do whatever you want with that code, which is very idealistic. I don't know that it's so practical."The reaction to the change has been mixed, Cramer says, with many concerns coming from open source advocates.
Still, so far, Cramer says he feels good about Sentry's position, but he's open to making changes down the line if the license isn't working out.$40 million round
