Yeah, it's a complete bullshit move. Mongoose OS (an embedded iot Plattform not the db) does something similar. It's extremely weasely and doesn't instill trust

- Pet_Ant 3y agoThere is nothing wrong with saying "It is not open source but you can freely use the binaries". That is the same thing, but upfront about it, but this feels like open-source-washing.
- a2800276 3y agoNothing wrong with that at all. But that's not what was said. Answering the question (that you posed to yourself in your own FAQ): "Is it Open Source?" by stating: "we've licensed the binary using an Open Source license" seems a bit disingenuous. A more matter-of-factly answer would have been: "No".

- xpe 3y agoTrust is not the same for everyone. One model of trust is: A trusts B to do C. Nubank is releasing the binary permissively. You might want more, but this is not a breach of trust. Datomic has been around for more than 10 years, so there is ample data to base expectations.
