That makes it a bit different than something like Mongo or Elasticsearch suddenly going with a business friendly license.
However, I still would wonder about the health of the committership community independent of this company. The job of a good foundation is to steward the project accordingly, and I wonder if MariaDB has been community or company governed?
- evanelias 3y agoActually the Business Source License was originally created by MariaDB! It was applied to their database proxy product MaxScale. The core database server will always be GPL though, especially as a fork of MySQL under the GPL. MariaDB has a community and foundation which (afaik) is independent of the company.
