Impressive to have changed the license in the future. Hehe.

The Change Date specifies when the source file changes from BSL to the specified Open Source license. Its always in the future.

The Change license defined is this

>Change License: Apache License, Version 2.0, as published by the Apache Foundation.

>Effective on the Change Date, or the fifth anniversary of the first publicly available distribution of a specific version of the Licensed Work under this License, whichever comes first, the Licensor hereby grants you rights under the terms of the Change License, and the rights granted in the paragraph above terminate.

Not the OP, but i didn't know this was a thing.
