https://opensourceindex.io/?company=HashiCorp reports some projects in "top repo"

"HashiCorp, the vendor of Vagrant, Terraform, and a number of other deployment-automation tools, is changing its software license to the Business Source License." Source: https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/11/hashicorp_bsl_licence/

Thanks for bringing this up @marclaporte

OSCI relies upon checking the license attached to the respective repos contributed into by those organizations to understand whether these are open source or not (as defined by the OSI). @vlad-isayko can confirm whether this happens at first instance or frequently moving forward?

For the repos displayed within HashiCorp's Top Repos I can see a split between the MPL license and a custom BSL license so you're right that we shouldn't be displaying those BSL repos in this ranking.

Looking forward to investigating further and then getting this into our backlog.
