I do want to note Timescale's license is extremely generous: https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/blob/main/tsl/LICENSE-TIMESCALE#L62 https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/blob/main/tsl/LICEN... There's a marked difference between what they allow you vs Mongo (SSPL) and Elastic (Elastic license) -- see (b). Also generally the Postgres ecosystem has in general seemingly found a way to strike a balance between creating immense value (point to a F/OSS DB that's better than Postgres) and enabling commercial success (Citus, 2nd Quadrant, EDB, Timescale, Supabase, Neon are all very successful) I do agree with the overall trend though -- I already think the future is going to be AGPL[0] (but that's based partially on a misunderstanding of what AGPL does). It remains to be seen if people will cynically make projects open source to start and then switch to something like SSPL/BSL/Elastic later, but the unintentional rug pulls will probably continue for a while.
