Oh cool! I see this is addressed in your FAQ:
> TimescaleDB is a relational database for time-series, with some features licensed under the Apache 2.0 License but many of the features you know and love are licensed via the Timescale License (including continuous aggregates, compression, data retention policies, actions, multi-node, and more). The "Apache 2.0" version of TimescaleDB offered by Microsoft, Digital Ocean, and others includes only the features in the Apache license. The Timescale License prohibits cloud providers from offering the "community version" of TimescaleDB-as-a-service.
But I don't find any links to download the Apache 2.0 version, there or elsewhere…
By the way, I really hope you guys are able to strike a deal with the cloud providers for them to re-sell Timescale Licenses, so people can get all the great features and pay you without having to add a new vendor relationship!
- akulkarni 6y agoThank you :-) Re: Apache 2.0 only version, it is on our Github readme (but yes, probably could be made more prominent): Apache-2 licensed binaries can be built by passing -DAPACHE_ONLY=1 to bootstrap. https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb
