== Questionable open-source licence for Akka ==
The section about Concurrency describes how Scala no longer provides native support for actors, relying on the third-party platform called Akka. The text also states, though, that Akka is an open-source platform.
> ...it also included support for the actor model, which is now available as a separate open source platform Akka
However, starting with version 2.7.0 (the current one), Lightbend switched the licence of Akka from Apache 2.0 to [https://www.lightbend.com/akka/license Business Source License 1.1].
As far as I know, the new licence is not an approved open source licence. I'm not a lawyer, but from [https://www.lightbend.com/akka/license-faq their own FAQ]:
> The BSL requires that the code licensed revert to an approved open source license (“Change License”) after a period of time (“Change Date”) which can be no later than 4 years.
I think that it's safer to remove the "open source" before the Akka name.
