Yes, that's intentional. It used to be GPL which imposed the same requirement, but we shifted to BSL because it's a bit more explicit and because of (again, irrational) GPL-phobia on the part of some non-trivial subset of corporate users.
BTW the closed source restriction in the BSL is effectively the same as the GPL and the only other meaningful restriction is on SaaS direct monetization. Companies can still run ZT for free and run it behind the scenes for free. It's a lot like the AGPL.
