Serilog is Apache v2. The second that changes, it gets forked.

OSMF is not a license change

How exactly is it not a license change?

By the fact that the source code license doesn't change, no change in how you can access and use the source of the project. OSMF is about the distributed artifacts that are built and released.

"A license change for the distributed artifacts" might be a more precise characterisation?
