Our company is the maintainer of the excellent work from hagen1778 and we've also bumped into the fee issue even with pure open source work. Grafana has gone back and forth on their policies over the last few years. At this time there

That's a standard phrase to make lawyers happy. It means what whatever else happens and whoever else may claim title to the work OpenAI won't come after you. They are free to put this in their terms of service; many companies will

Thanks for the shout out! "Altinity" in this case means Altinity.Cloud, which is a high-performance cloud ClickHouse. It's been around for over 2.5 years. Disclaimer: I work at Altinity.

This seems corrrect though it made me curious. I've skimmed the Booking ToS and can't find anything that expressly forbids altering the site appearance to make it render differently. The closest is perhaps Section A14. Intellectua

I'm really surprised that the article does not highlight cloud services as a way to monetize open source. This seems like the most obvious way to get revenue from back office open source projects, especially databases. RedHat itself in

I love HN articles about going down the rabbit hole. This one did not disappoint. At the end, though, I started to wonder about legal issues with altering downloaded code behavior. Cybersecurity laws are so clumsily written that the kind of

If demand for database products is/was inelastic, why are so many SaaS data vendors not profitable after IPO? (Elastic NV [0], Confluent [1], Snowflake [2], ...) They should just be able to increase their prices to become profitable. B

That's pretty good. Excuse the dumb question, but is that the same Michael Howard that runs MariaDB? If so, it just shows that you should always have another skill you can fall back on, such as street musician. (Personally I'm pre

Could you be more specific about how American corporatism is failing open source in this case? MariaDB PLC is not profitable and most investors give it low chances of getting there. It's currently trading at 25% of the IPO price which

I don't agree. Here are four reasons why public clouds don't automatically win. 1. Many companies operate multi-cloud and prefer vendors who cross platforms. 2. SaaS companies don't compete with cloud vendors in a simple, hea

Even better, there are lots of ClickHouse clouds! ClickHouse Cloud, Altinity.Cloud, DoubleCloud, Aiven, TinyBird...plus many others. This is the best assurance for users that prices for ClickHouse will stay competitive over time. Disclaimer
