Re: hashicorp license change

Hi,

Is it OK to use "busl-1.1" as the value of LICENSE field for Business
Source License 1.1, according to https://spdx.org/licenses/BUSL-1.1.html?

As for MariaDB, the following site mentions MariaDB Community Server is
GPLv2 and MariaDB MaxScale is BUSL.
https://mariadb.com/products/community-server/

Thanks,
