> In the coming weeks, we will relicense all of our source-available tools, including Tart, Vetu and Orchard under a more permissive license. (HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47730194)
In this case they moved from one source-available license (Fair Source License v0.9 with seat restrictions) to another (Fair Source License 1.1-ALv2 without seat restrictions), with the same sort of restrictions on field-of-endeavor as before.
Why they've chosen this isn't super clear, as (1) there are already open-source alternatives that use the same storage formats as Tart, like Lume[2]; and (2) Tart is certainly already in the training sets of all of OpenAI's "direct competitors", who are practically held back little or not at all by the restrictions of the FSL. The only entities this really restricts are F/OSS distributions which might otherwise include Tart as a first-class package in their distros. :-\
