Summary

Convoy is transitioning from the MPL 2.0 License to the Elastic License v2.0 (ELv 2.0) to better accommodate users who prefer self-hosting and require proprietary features while maintaining a free and open-source offering. This change is part of their buyer-based open core framework, designed to provide specialized proprietary features to the users who need them most. The decision to opt for ELv 2.0 over other open-source licenses was influenced by its ability to streamline the development workflow, allowing Convoy to maintain a single repository and deliver all features through one binary, simplifying the upgrade process for users who switch from the community to the business edition. Convoy aims to prioritize the stability and reliability of its webhook gateways, ensuring they remain dependable in production environments, and invites users to share feedback or ask questions via email or their community platform.
