I'm having trouble parsing/making sense of this. Was basic backup in Core? If you were running anything more than Core you weren't running an OSS version and had already crossed that line before this announcement. If you were running an OSS version there's nothing to add, just fork, no?

Core only has the "full backup". Incremental and other types are available to enterprise. I run the Core edition (with full backups) for my personal projects.

CockroachDB Core uses 3 licenses: CCL, BSL, Apache

CCL, BSL = "source available"

Apache = open source

Parts of CockroachDB under CCL that do NOT transition to Apache OSS: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/tree/master/pkg/ccl

    > the sub-tree under pkg/ccl is under a different license (CCL) that does not transition to APL2 after a set duration.
