I'm disappointed on you open sourcing it.
Now I'm not against OSS movement and in fact I'm working at a company doing exactly this, but releasing your bread-and-butter as an open source project leaves you vulnerable to peer plagiarism.
Instead, you should just release the core version so others will build an open ecosystem around your mainline product. This will secure your market fundamentals by making sure no one could overshadow you especially in a fiercely competitve market of database.
So please stop open sourcing too much, I don't want to see the same ill fate again and again for great products like RethinkDB (and its downfall) that could change the world

We have many ideas about value-adds. But the goal for open sourcing it is indeed to foster an open ecosystem.
