All the NewSQLs I've seen are shared-nothing cluster databases; that's basically the definition of the term. (Of course, that technology was invented in the 1980s and then forgotten, so it's new to somebody.)

As for open source, something you can't say is that open source communities are unable to develop this kind of software.

Given that the CEO worked with the author of the 1986 paper about shared-nothing clusters, you're probably right.
