The core is still MIT-licensed and I don't see a great reason why that would change. I've built many plugins for Benthos and Bloblang in the past and I've always been more inclined to use Benthos _as a library_. The Go package is great and the input/output/processor interface are easy to build against. I'm glad that nothing about my ability to do that is changing and I'll be using it again in the future. Benthos is a phenomenal project that is now being sustained by a commercial entity.
