- klysm 3y agoYea but there’s incentive to obscure it given the managed solution. I view it as high risk
- samokhvalov 3y agoWell, understandable. This is true for any open-source product that is under control by a single company and the majority of contributions comes from this company. Yes, we aim to have revenue (as any company) from our paid offering. But not only we're going to keep DBLab Engine open and free, we recently changed the license from AGPLv3 to Apache 2.0, and currently consider making additional pieces open.
- klysm 3y agoVery glad to see the change to Apache license, and super happy the code is even source available. I was more referring to the perverse incentives that every company built around open source faces with regards to documentation. It may be less so the case here, but there probably is some incentive to make the docs subpar, or not a strong incentive to make them fantastic - it’s a difficult thing to balance. Side note: I’ve been loving the Postgres.FM episodes, thanks so much for doing them!
