But if you like this definitely keep an eye on our blog[1] | and/or twitter[2] for the upcoming "official" announcements. They | will have a lot more info on this and all the other cool changes | things that are part of Citus 11. | | [1]: https://www.citusdata.com/blog/ | | [2]: https://twitter.com/citusdata | whitepoplar wrote: | This is fantastic, and should bring some relief to those who want | to self-host Citus outside of Azure. I wonder if TimescaleDB's | recent license changes had anything to do with this. | Tostino wrote: | Wasn't aware of this change until I saw you mention it: | https://docs.timescale.com/timescaledb/latest/timescaledb-ed... | mfreed wrote: | I'm not sure what "recent license changes" you are referring | to? | | The Timescale License was introduced in late 2018, although we | never _relicensed_ any of our Apache 2 code, we only created a | space for _new_ capabilities to be developed under these terms. | | There were a few changes to the license in Sept 2020, but those | only liberalized a few clauses (including from feedback we | received from the Hacker News community, including the "right | to repair" and "right to improve"). At the time, we also moved | any remaining "enterprise" features from an Enterprise/Paid | license into the TSL/Community/Free license. | | https://www.timescale.com/blog/building-open-source-business... | | We haven't changed anything since, nor have we ever moved any | Apache-2 code into the TSL. | | (Timescale cofounder) | whitepoplar wrote: | Time really flies by! I was referring to you guys moving all | enterprise features into the TSL/Community license. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-06-16 23:00 UTC)
