Interesting. You have any experience with Memgraph?

Did Neo4j remove the enterprise edition source code? Maybe Memgraph was the inspiration for that too hmm

Yes they closed the enterprise source code.

They first tried adding the commons clause, then when that did not accomplish what they wanted, they closed the enterprise source code.

The kicker is that this was not because of behemoth like Amazon or Oracle, it was because of a single individual… (guess who?)

Good read to get a better picture:

Thanks for the link, interesting to read.

"The issue as to whether the clause can be removed is still pending" -- that was in Mars, is it still pending now in December?

My guess was that indeed it could have been you :-) (which it was) since I couldn't think of anyone else.

Annoying behavior by Neo4j, and also interesting that AGPL didn't work for them
