- pbowyer 7y ago> Commercialization of HyPer took a lot of resources Do you have any more information on this? I saw HyPer had been acquired by Tableau, and assumed it was a finished product they bought.

- linuxhansl 7y agoCan it be open sourced?
- jwildeboer 7y agoI’m surprised it isn’t. AFAICS a lot of the initial development was done by students and thus paid for by German taxpayers. Why isn’t it open source? I am confused.
- KarlKemp 7y agoIsn't that exactly what the Instagram founders said? I'm perfectly willing to belief that they have no intention of selling. But that's really not a promise one can easily make. Even if you're capable of withstanding the allure of whatever large sum someone is offering, it's always possible to be faced with a choice of selling or shutting down, or selling or not being able to afford your spouse's/child's/own sudden healthcare needs.
