Description

@jsimnz

What did you do?

Tried to access documentation 6943 for a Business Source License 1.1 (BSL 1.1) repo.

What did you expect to see?

Generated documentation.

What did you see instead?

Unsupported due to licensing restrictions

--

I'm seeking to have my (and potentially all) repo(s) included in pkg.go.dev that uses the BSL 1.1 license. https://mariadb.com/bsl11/

The BSL 1.1 license is becoming very popular for open source projects that are also balancing commercialization priorities. Although it is not an official OSI license, it does have the endorsement from Bruce Perens[0] who is the founder of the OSI Foundation. Additionally, it automatically converts to an "official" OSI license after a period of no more than 4 years from release. Finally, it's designed around an "Additional Use Grant" which my self (and Im sure other repo authors) would be happy to make inclusions to accomodate pkgsite.

These repos are fundamentally open-source / source available, so it's unfortunate that the current structure of pkg.go.dev doesn't support them.
