Yes, we consider ourselves an “open core” company. Timely and differential, the core compute engine, are fully open source projects, but the Materialize layer atop is licensed under the “Business Source License” (BSL). We think the BSL strikes a good balance between giving back to the community—four years after every release, the code is automatically relicensed under Apache 2—and ensuring we can build a viable business. And you’re free to use Materialize for any purpose in a non-distributed (i.e., single node) deployment without paying for an enterprise license.
