Hello FalkorDB company/team
The homepage of your website [1] states that your software is "FULLY OPEN-SOURCE". However, your GitHub repo [2] shows that the software is licensed under a "Server Side Public License" (SSPL) [3]. SSPL is not an open source license [4]. Actually, it is "Source Available", which is a different category of software license. Besides the Open Source Initiative (OSI) definition, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) concluded the same thing [5].

[4] opensource.org/blog/the-sspl-is-not-an-open-source-license
[5] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Side_Public_License
Therefore, it is important to rectify the information on the website, avoiding to mislead visitors and users of the software.
Appreciate the company's attention on this issue.
