I don't like the change but I understand their point of view. It's also commendable how Cockroack Labs has conducted this in a professional manner.

- bigiain 7y agoCould you expand of what it is you don't like about this change? Without having read and fully understood the actual text of their new license and comparing it to the old one, if we take them at their word where they say "The one and only thing that you cannot do is offer a commercial version of CockroachDB as a service without buying a license." - I find it pretty hard to find anything to "not like" about it... Perhaps the ideological purity of "open source" is being disrupted here (I suspect Stallman isn't a fan of this), but from a pragmatic perspective, it gives me all the rights I need to use it in any way I choose, except to exploit project without contributing back via a license.
