What are the chances of Supabase doing a license change? Seems to be fashionable these days so always a little wary of building on these sort of platforms
Seeing as Neon, Nile, Citus, etc. are all open source, I highly doubt it. But who knows. In the end, most license changes are blown out of proportion by a vocal minority and largely have zero effect on 99.9% of users.
Unfortunately there isn't a way to prove our intentions to remain open source
That said, I think Supabase is much more de-risked from this happening because we aim to support existing tools with a strong preference of tools that are controlled by foundations rather than commercial entities. For example, 2 of the main tools:
- Postgres (PostgreSQL license)
- PostgREST (MIT license)
Every tool/library/extension that we develop and release ourselves is either MIT, Apache2, or PostgreSQL
