It was open source from the start, but under AGPL which is a fairly restrictive open source license. I remember diving through the code trying to debug bugs in RethinkDB when using it in production long before they went out of business. See my blog post http://sagemath.blogspot.com/2016/10/rethinkdb-must-relicense-now-what-is.html http://sagemath.blogspot.com/2016/10/rethinkdb-must-relicens...
- supermatt 6y agoYeah, AGPL seems to be one of those licenses that aren’t popular here. I’ve never understood it myself - especially for something like a db which folks are generally less likely to modify. What would you say is the problem with AGPL? I was thinking of releasing a product under it myself.
