As I mentioned in another comment, perhaps you could invite current users to a private repo, and then make it public at the business EOL.


If it’s open source, a private repo is not protection. Free software licenses allow for unlimited redistribution.


You don’t need to apply the license until after the public release, before then it would just be sharing code with your customers under whatever agreement you want
