BUSL-1.1 license generation blocked by content filtering policy
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Feb 21, 2026 by rustyconover Closed Feb 21, 2026
Description
When asking Claude Code to change a project's license to BUSL-1.1 (Business Source License 1.1), the request is blocked by the content filtering policy. BUSL-1.1 is a legitimate, widely-used software license (used by HashiCorp, MariaDB, CockroachDB, etc.) and should not be flagged.
Prompt Used
I want you to change the license for this software to BUSL-1.1 with a 7 year conversion to Apache 2.0.
Error
API Error: 400
{
"type": "error",
"error": {
"type": "invalid_request_error",
"message": "Output blocked by content filtering policy"
},
"request_id": "req_011CYMRWnk6YmYoL7qwJKTrg"
}
Expected Behavior
Claude Code should be able to generate or modify a LICENSE file to use BUSL-1.1 with a specified change date/conversion period and change license (e.g., Apache 2.0). This is a standard software licensing task.
