Not sure about the CLA process, but the database is already under a restrictive, proprietary license: ## Free Trial Use to evaluate whether the software suits a particular application for less than 32 consecutive calendar days, on behalf of you or your company, is use for a permitted purpose. https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db/blob/master/licenses/POLYFORM-FREE-TRIAL-LICENSE-1.0.0.txt https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db/blob/master/licenses... It's not really clear what this means (what is a permitted purpose?), but it seems the intent is that after 32 days, you are expected to pay up. Or at least prepare for a future when the infrastructure to charge customers is in place (if it isn't there yet).

Thanks. I think that only covers the commercial bits they run themselves though: "The entire database with all its features (including the enterprise ones) is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 The binaries that contain -managed in the artifact and help run a managed service are licensed under the Polyform Free Trial License 1.0.0." EDIT: formatting

  It also mentions: > By default, the build options generate only the Apache License 2.0 binaries. So, it seems like the proprietary builds are for the managed services that they host themselves, which makes sense.
