Of all the things I dislike about this trend of open-source companies switching to less permissive licenses, my most hated aspect is the inevitable FAQ:
"Q: How can I tell whether my usage would be classified as competing? A: Email us!"
This is profoundly un-serious & obnoxious, and going along with it in any way is just contributing to the problem.
