## Why BSL?

CockroachDB, MariaDB, and Couchbase use the same license. It keeps the code
publicly auditable while preventing cloud providers and AI companies from
extracting value without contributing back — or paying.

GraphLang took 15 versions and millions of benchmark runs to discover that
~2,215 CST node types reduce to just 12 semantic IR kinds. Companies that
want to use that discovery to train commercial AI models should pay for the R&D.

**Clause**: The Licensed Software may not be used to create, train, or enhance
any competing semantic analysis, code translation, or AI code generation product
without a separate data license agreement.
