That's a shame, I wonder how much they'd charge if you did want to offer it to others... (e.g. as part of a hosted Cloudron offering)

hosting Outline as a service

I guess that means it just can be used for personal use and not selling access or hosting to others?

Most of the integrations, e.g. Slack, seem to be proprietary, so in a way, Outline is unfortunately a gateway to non-Free software.

This is an interesting approach to licensing which might work well to support Free Software business models. FSF guidelines say it should all be Free from the get go, however specifying a date by which time the software will become Free is a nice idea and better than a promise.

From Claude AI:

There are a few technical terms that can describe software that is initially released under a non-free license but will become free at a future date:

Time-delayed open sourcing - Indicates the software will be open sourced after a certain time period.
Open source promise - The provider promises to eventually make the software open source.
Deferred open sourcing - Open sourcing is postponed to a future date.
Future open sourcing - The software will become open source at some point in the future.
Open source conversion - The license will convert from proprietary to open source.
So in your example, the Business Source License 1.1 is a proprietary license, but the provider promises to convert it to the Apache 2.0 open source license at a specified future date. This could be described as a "deferred open sourcing", "future open sourcing", or an "open source conversion". The key aspect is that open sourcing is not immediate but will happen later on.

Oh, Well done, Team Cloudron, on yet another great application supported!

Same applies to Hashicorp Vault on Cloudron (actually all Hashicorp products such as Terraform, etc.) as mentioned before
