> Mezmo recently put in production Quickwit to serve thousands of customers and petabytes of logs, drastically reducing infrastructure cost and complexity while delivering the same user experience.

I can't imagine they feel great about Quickwit getting bought by a competitor after that.

It's a risk you deal with giving back to open source.

The good part for the rest of us is it's a signal that there's likely some appetite for a fork if Datadog screws the pooch.

Either they did it on their own, in which case that's open source for you, or they have some kind of contract with quickwit, in which case I'd be really surprised if they don't have some clauses which handle this.
