How To Make An Infinitely Scalable RDBMS

I fully understand what this means and I hope you do get calls about alternate licensing, but remember that people like me do not make these decisions.

I thankfully don't have to - this means I don't need to talk to lawyers about this.

Because AGPL took away the most important bit of unassailable ground I had to argue with when it came to deploying GPL - "Using this code implies no criteria we have to comply to, only if we distribute it".

Clause 12 and 13 - basically took that away from me completely.

Look, I'm not going to tell you what license to use.

But leave me enough room to complain that I have had trouble convincing people that we can use AGPL code in a critical function without obtaining a previous commercial license by paying the developer.

Hi, gopalv. I'm glad to talk to you further privately if you wish. You can go to InfiniSQL's site to send me your email, connect on LinkedIn, or whatever: http://www.infinisql.org/community/

I'm not too religious about licensing--if I can get early adopters/contributors, and so on, I'm willing to consider changing the license terms.

I'm looking for open doors.

Personally, I think the choice of AGPL is good. It enables you to give to the community and get useful community involvement, while allowing commercial companies to have proprietary forks (for a cost) as well as commercial support.

All the best!
