Software products they are using as part their AGPL product are all more permissive, but somehow they consider themselves worthy of monetizing all of this:
- Postgres: similar to MIT and BSD license
- Tantivy (via pg_search): MIT
- pgvector: Postgres license, similar to MIT
- DuckDB (via pg_analytics): MIT
- CloudNativePG: Apache-2.0
- pg_cron: Postgres license, similar to MIT
- pg_ivm: Postgres license, similar to MIT
- GuB-42 2y agoThat's the point of permissive licences. To allow monetization and redistribution under more restrictive terms, usually proprietary, but also copyleft licenses like AGPL.
- yencabulator 2y agoAnd when ParadeDB is harshly criticizing companies that would have otherwise perhaps used their software without paying them: > Thanks to the copyleft provision, cloud vendors cannot easily resell our project without our consent. This gives us confidence in our ability to monetize without fear of predatory competition. it seems they don't realize how ironic that stance is; they themselves are using all this software without paying for it.
