License, ScyllaDB is AGPL 3.0.
Also maintainability I am assuming. ScyllaDB is written by a team of people experts in writing high performance low level code, and I am not sure it is easy for others to fork it easily. Cassandra being written in java and being a much more normal application (no DPDK), might be easier to fork.
- _msw_ 7y agoDisclosure: I work for AWS, but this is my personal opinion. We have lots of developers that write code that's similar to how ScyllaDB is built. Lots of DPDK. There are many other practical reasons why a fork should never be the first choice when building a service that you have to sustain for customers basically forever. Especially if there's active, high velocity development going on.
