@csuermann Do you have any examples of notable projects using this license?

From a quick search I am seeing that https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n uses a license called "Sustainable Use License" as part of their commercial dual-licensing scheme since 2022. I have not yet compared the text to confirm whether it actually matches the submitted text here. Are you aware of any others using this, or is this just for n8n?

Thanks for your prompt response, @swinslow!

n8n has released the "Sustainable Use License" / SUL on https://faircode.io and it seems to get adopted by more and more projects.

In fact, we got a request from a user to add SUL to your database.
