I just hope CockroachLabs doesn't come up with a dick move like the MongoDB SSPL license, it would really hurt me since I've been selling the thing and using it in all my new projects. I can't imagine the frustration of the Mongodb users right now.

- bithavoc 8y agoI think in such case AWS would be implementing Spanner/F1 directly using Postgres protocol and I'm sure that like Google Spanner itself, it won't be cheap. For the rest of us we can start using CockroachDB from day zero hoping to get big enough to someday need Enterprise features.
- kardianos 8y agocockroach has a much more thought out model. See: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/pricing/ https://www.cockroachlabs.com/pricing/ And the story is already clear and thought out in the license file and Makefile: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/blob/master/LICENSE
- gurpreet- 8y agoI have used CockroachDB and it a gem. Seamless replication, failover and ultra easy to setup. A bit more polish on certain aspects of it (especially querying) but overall it's excellent. I really hope that they keep their licence structure as-is. Reading your links, it's comforting that they've thought a lot about their licences and have differing (liberal) licences for various parts of their database.
