1. Old Versions that are 4 years old fall out of favour quickly. The do not get security updates or fixes. They are 4 years old after all.
2. BSL ist NOT considered an open source licence. It is considered a source-available licence instax.
3. This licence stops people that need to self host their data if they don't have expertise in house. You can't just pay someone to host it for you on your servers as that's against the BSL terms. So the product in unusable as far as i'm concerned.
