Am I wrong in thinking you can still compile Scylla after the change as it's source available? You just also need a license, right?

  Yes, but that's not an option for our lawyers; we need the actual freedom to do whatever. Source available is not a thing for us; it's not about the source (we will probably not ever touch it anyway), it is about the freedom when they go out of business, change the rules , etc. But I am not a lawyer but I do agree: we gladly pay licenses and support but if things go crazy (upping the prices to stupid amounts etc) we need to be able to get out without many issues.

    So it's not about Open Source but about Free Software?

      “Source available” is not Open Source. Some orgs reportedly have access to Windows source code, but that doesn’t mean they’re building and deploying their own version.

    I do like it. What percent of revenue do you contribute back to OSS? As long as it flows both ways, it’s great.

      As said in the comment, we pay for support and hosting for the open products that we use and we sponsor on github. % of rev is a good question; I will find that out. What is a good % you would say?
