from open source at roughly the same time, either to BUSL or to other
licenses that restrict licensees from operating commercial services.
Several licensors add an Additional Use Grant (AUG) under the BUSL to
allow for ``production" uses other than those that are considered to
compete with the developer's commercial services. For example,
ArcticDB provides the following Additional Use Grant\footnote{This same
text is also used by several other projects, and we have not determined
which project originated it. There are also other variants with similar
effect.}:
By default, BUSL prohibits uses in ``production" before the Change Date.
Licensors using the bare BUSL would thus expect commercial adopters to
pay for a separate license permitting commercial use. Howver, several
licensors add an Additional Use Grant (AUG) under the BUSL to allow for
``production" uses other than those that are considered to compete with
the developer's own commercial services. For example, ArcticDB provides

Several cloud-oriented software projects that switched away from open
source licensing in the past few years also adopted license terms with
non-competition clauses. However, these generally were not time-limited.
% TODO: double-check whether any of them were time-limited
Conversely, several projects that adopted BUSL included AUGs that allow
commercial uses so long as these aren't charging third parties for the
service of hosting instances of the software, or so long as they don't
otherwise compete with the original developer's own service offerings.
The FSL could be seen as codifying this policy in the main license
itself, rather than adding it as an optional additional permission.
