TBH, I think _renaming_ CockroachDB would do it more good than relicensing. All other things being equal, I think it is safe to say that nobody wants any cockroaches in their infrastructure. I think it's also safe to say that few people know in detail what CockroachDB is, and its name creates additional friction to more people figuring it out. If you disagree, call your next database project TurdDB or something and see how it does in the marketplace. Names matter.
Call it something high-tech sounding and inoffensive. Now that it has some notoriety it no longer needs a controversial name.
