genuine question:
Why people think this is good, but MySQL acquisition by Oracle was bad? Both companies have internal conflict of interest by already owning close-source SQL servers, both companies have history of attacking opensource communities.
- detaro 8y agoI wouldn't say it is "good", but two reasons why it probably isn't so bad: Citus is a company active in Postgres, it's not "the Postgres company" like MySQL AB was. Their business model seems like it fits to what Microsoft is doing now, so the open-source part is hopefully not in real danger.
