Yep, they even quoted some recent HN comments in the article.

I have absolutely no doubt that a small but vocal minority will remain unsatisfied. I'm not surprised by this move, as there was barely anything left in the Enterprise license anyway. Personally, I think this is a great move, and one that should in theory leave that vocal minority with very little to actually grumble about.

I likely qualify as "vocal minority". These changes make TimescaleDB something I could entertain using.

My concerns related to the "right-to-repair" / "right-to-improve", and with vendor lock-in. These changes address my concerns handily.
