I hope RethinkDB going out of business does not become the justification to go closed source. At Neo4j we open source both the community and enterprise edition ( https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j/tree/3.1/enterprise https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j/tree/3.1/enterprise ) but we ask you to pay for the enterprise edition with a commercial license. Most of the non-employee contributions to Neo4j are not made directly to the product but using extensions, and plugins. We find people who start with community edition will eventually move to enterprise once they establish the value it brings...and then eventually they will pay for the enterprise license. Yes, we have tons of people using the enterprise edition without paying... and that's ok. They'll come around too eventually once they see the value. If we can build a business going full open source, you can too. Don't let the commercial failure of RethinkDB scare you otherwise.
