I think calling it "Open-source" is misleading considering its license.

Agree, and it's explicitly declared as not open source in its own terms, so I presume a mistake in the posting here. Title here should be changed I think.

For anybody interested a summary of "Business Source" terms here:

If you (like me) look at this and were like ???, a more compelling summary is perhaps:

> Trieve sets itself apart by being BSL-licensed self-hostable and built in public at github.com/devflowinc/trieve whereas Algolia is fully closed … At Trieve, we are hard at work building these features to reach full parity with Algolia (0)

Or this long winded post about using it to implement search (1)…

Long story short, like Algolia.

The rustiness of the project, I’m not sure I see the significance of; it has a bunch of very heavy non rust dependencies.

Its open-source as in OSINT

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is almost certainly best described as "source-available"

Eh, we could get into how to best explain the Business Source License. Not saying source available is wrong, but I'd say the term is incomplete.

Perhaps "source-curious" should suffice.
