Having licensing based upon environment variable value is very odd. From the readme:

> Bespoke is MIT licensed for env variabe OPEN_SOURCE=true

> Bespoke Cloud is Business Source Licenced for env variable OPEN_SOURCE=false

> You will be violating our Business Source Licence if you have the environment variable OPEN_SOURCE=false

I would personally be uncomfortable using any software licensed in this manner, since you're not licensing the code itself, but the code in a particular environment. It's also pretty useless to add this complexity since the usage of that environment variable could easily be patched out while under use of your "OPEN_SOURCE=true" conditions.
