What does that mean? What service do you have that is disallowed? We are evaluating it and are finding the license page confusing. Yugabyte seems friendlier but it seems even less talked about.
- powerhour 4y agoCockroachdb uses the BSL which means you can't host it as a service for others. It's more of a "source available" license (that eventually converts to Apache, after a few years).
- rad_gruchalski 4y agoI used YugabyteDB. License was one thing: database is Apache 2 licensed and no strings attached, you can operate it as a service yourself. Not so with CockroachDB, what powerhour said. Other reasons: it’s Postgres code under the hood, not a rewrite, so you can use existing extensions. I have even contributed the support for FDWs, which I use in production.
