To everyone who has used RethinkDB for free and now wants the product of the company to be released to open source for free use: Don't you see this is self fulfilling? Don't pay for databases, database companies close. Or, you can take this as a cautionary tale, and consider paying reasonable, good companies for the technology they create. Not out of pity or charity, simply because you're getting value from the software created.
