The issue is likely something like this:

a) Oracle buys TimescaleDB

b) Oracle sues any of 1000+ SaaS apps that have decent revenue and they can identify

c) The other 900 suddenly have massive due diligence issues even if not sued

I mean, that’s cool, but maybe a bit problematic if the language of the license means they’re all in violation of it.

I understand from your perspective this whole discussion probably looks silly, because you know what’s in your mind.

There are just too many stories of this blowing up in someone’s face (mostly due to legal, not due to actual enforcement) :/

Right, and we're subject to what's in his mind, which we can't know, and what's in his acquirer's mind, which even he can't know!
