Dear Bank-Vaults Community,
Many of you have voiced concerns or posed questions regarding HashiCorp Vault's recent license change and its implications for both Bank-Vaults and end-users. Although we are not yet ready to make a final decision, we are diligently gathering feedback and information from various sources. In the meantime, we felt it necessary to address the situation and provide an update.
As many of you are aware, Bank-Vaults interfaces with Vault in several ways:
One of our core uncertainties revolves around the vagueness in the new license, especially terms like "embedding" and "competing offer". Who precisely determines the meaning and scope of these terms? It's plausible that HashiCorp might have the final say. While they might assure us today that our usage is compliant, what guarantees do we have about future interpretations?
Several factors will influence our final assessment of this license change:
In the interim, we wish to provide assurance to both developers and end-users. We are confident that continuing to use MPL licensed versions of Vault is in compliance with that license. Until we can offer a definitive stance on the recent license changes, we strongly recommend that our community stick to the MPL-licensed versions, especially if they are running the community edition.
We deeply value the trust and support you've placed in Bank-Vaults. Rest assured, we are working diligently to navigate these changes and will keep the community informed every step of the way.
Warm Regards,
The Bank-Vaults Development Team
