Do you use your powers for good or for awesome? Senior #DevOps Engineer at a major research institution (views/opinions my own) and a severe #Linux and #opensource enthusiast. Also into #retrocomputing, #fountainpens, #Volkswagen, #music, and #cooking. #fedi22 Hoosier currently living in California. Pixelfed: @vwbusguy Video game talk: @vwbusguy

And another open core company promising that they'll be different than Hashicorp.

Hmmm, looks like it's actually open core, and things like HA, disaster recovery, and a webUI are a proprietary "Enterprise" add-on.

nostr:npub1vcl9kcqwwsk536z8s4h6k48qrfkm7mahzrk5mz0v04j94507d20s6hk6t3 I'm sure my employer was significantly involved but I think Stanford and Brown were more directly involved with ARPANet and WWW, respectively.

Sometimes I think of all the cool #software that has been authored at my current employer: BSD, vi, Pascal, UCSD P-System, Eucalyptus Cloud, Postgresql, and now the Zero to JupyterHub data science stuff I'm currently involved in implementing, and it motivates me to want to continue to build an excellent stack just to see what will come of it and what we might do next with it all, and who else will get to benefit from all of it. #opensource

They can't change the database licence even if they wanted to, as it's a derivative of Oracle MySQL and they are not the sole copyright holders. Only Oracle themselves can change the licence, as they own the entire intellectual property. In fact, they do - it's called MySQL Enterprise.

nostr:npub156yx5pyknkaeyfz32lrxxz77943lxz4qhxrtszll7efj8tpuxvfs4dladl Given how cross-platform it is, I would hope to see CNCF or Apache pick this up rather than another big tech company going solo.

"The BSL license has no effect on the MariaDB Server, which will stay GPLv2 forever. The BSL is not used by the Foundation and everything the Foundation staff contributes to is fully open source."
