Yes, the source is open. You can fork it, study it, use it, and self-host for free. You can absolutely use SphereSSL to manage certificates for your own company, organization, or projects. The only thing you can’t do is turn it into a paid product, paid service, or SaaS for others without permission.
Some folks argue that only MIT/Apache/OSI-approved licenses are “real” open source. I disagree. “Open source” is about sharing knowledge and empowering builders, not giving SaaS companies a free product to resell 1,000,000 times.
If you want to call it “source-available,” that’s fine. The point is: You get the code, you get the freedom to use it for anything except commercial exploitation. That’s the trade-off.
