Client libraries are completely unaffected and so is a lot that is going on behind the scenes.  We&amp;#x27;re firmly committed to being good Open Source citizens.  For instance a lot of the work that is going on behind the scenes is separated into independent reusable libraries that retain their original licenses.</text><parent_chain><item><author>JoshTriplett</author><text>So, Sentry is no longer Open Source at all, though people might potentially be able to collaborate on three-year-old versions (or, hopefully, use whatever unified fork pops up from the last Open Source release).&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#x27;s disappointing. Unfortunately, the more companies use such licenses, the more others see it as &amp;quot;safety in numbers&amp;quot; for them to do the same.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Re-Licensing Sentry</title><url>https://blog.sentry.io/2019/11/06/relicensing-sentry</url></story>

This seems fine. I&amp;#x27;ll still submit bug reports or even contribute fixes here. My current employer isn&amp;#x27;t a cloud provider or an exception handling as a service company, but we still might want to run Sentry in-house. Previously, we might have contributed fixes&amp;#x2F;features in the interest of spreading our own maintenance burden. This still seems possible and I don&amp;#x27;t see a reason to not contribute back for my use case.</text><parent_chain><item><author>JoshTriplett</author><text>So, Sentry is no longer Open Source at all, though people might potentially be able to collaborate on three-year-old versions (or, hopefully, use whatever unified fork pops up from the last Open Source release).&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#x27;s disappointing.
