commits are from 2019-6-17, when zerotier was still GPL, but they transitioned to BSL license on 2019-10-30, which is a license not approved by FSF nor OSI [1]

but maybe you are still fitting on the current pricing: 1 admin, 25 nodes, networks: unlimited [2]

[1] proof: go to https://spdx.org/licenses/ and search for BUSL-1.1 [2] https://www.zerotier.com/pricing/

Thanks Pedro for pointing to this, I was not aware of the license change. I am not sure that we have to change anything as the license allows the current use. Most networks only use 1 inside node. In the other hand all the client code (I may be wrong) will be GPL again on 1 january 2023.
