Great summary! Might have to check it out. Plus, even if they don't want to grow, they could always partner with a company that handles the sales, support, etc while cutting them a slice of licenses. Even feature creep could be handled with a fork that the company maintains with core engineers being consultants for occasional hard problem.
Great DB, horrible license.
Love the use of Prolog, hate the mirror-world EULA. If they haven't updated the license from the last time I looked, it's a non-starter for any reasonably-sized commercial entity with contract controls; there's no way in hell it would pass review with legal, which is odd for a company that's looking to make money off its product.
It's actually not Prolog but Datalog. Prologs non turing complete, but with logic consistent, little query language brother ^^.
Could you elaborate on that? What don't you like about the EULA?
Cool, I like innovation to my CRUD life
