It is not open-source, it is source-available. That's a perfectly valid choice, but the two approaches shouldn't be conflated.

I am guessing the difference is that

1. You can't just take this and make money from it

2. They don't accept or expect external inputs.

Hi there. Of course you can make money using it. The main restriction is to not run redpanda as a service. Otherwise have fun.

Its the same as cockroachdb in that regard

How can you run redpanda any other way? :)

[Lachedup]

feel free to embed, ingest customer data, run on a saas application. The only restriction is hosting redpanda as as service for other customers (Think AWS MKS)
