Cockroach is asking not to take open source and start offering it as a service. Which sounds like completely reasonable thing to do!
the BSL is not an open source license, but I can see where they are coming from, and I don't have a problem with it. With the one exception than I bet it will slow adoption, which is really just selfish on my part, because I want to use it and it will be an easier sell the more people are aware of it. Honestly I'm hoping that postgres just adopts the best parts of cockroach and i won't need to keep bringing it up to grossed out managers.
- samblr 6y ago>> the BSL is not an open source license, but I can see where they are coming from I wish more people could pause and appreciate this. I understand little on how an open source license gets approved by OSI body etc. But Im sure there is a need to mitigate threats from AWS and likes. We can't be far from today from where AWS takes a github URL as input and starts offering it as its own service!
