> It feels mostly in the spirit of FOSS to me

From the license at <https://github.com/HermanMartinus/bearblog/blob/998e87263248...>:

"You may not provide the Software as a hosted or managed service that offers users access to substantial features or functionality"

Given that the exclusive purpose of the Software in question is to implement a managed service for its users' hosting needs, I'm having trouble understanding how anyone could take the position that this is "mostly in the spirit of FOSS".

The license might as well say, "You just can't use this."

It’s saying that you can use Bear for your own blog, but you can’t launch a service that hosts other people’s blogs using it.

		The readme has this to say about hosting your own blog on it: "Bear Blog has been built as a platform and not as an individual blog generator. It is more like Substack than Hugo. Due to this it isn't possible to individually self-host a Bear Blog." "It isn't possible" is obviously not true but a plain reading of both that combined with the license would suggest you can't use bear at all for anything.
