its also odd then re the python bindings being MIT, as the AGPL will convey throughout any aggregation or library usage, as would GPL, the primary delta for GPL

its also odd then re the python bindings being MIT, as the AGPL will convey throughout any aggregation or library usage, as would GPL, the primary delta for GPL vs AGPL is the intent on the later for network offered services, which in the context of an embedded library/db is odd. rightly or wrongly many orgs will refuse to allow usage of gpl/agpl software due to the licensing concerns around the effects of the rest of their ip. duckdb (embedded analytics sql) uses mit, etc. so in terms of creating a "true foss" project ie a community of users and contributors, its definitely worth considering a licensing change imho, but of course dealers choice.
