Lucky you, you still can as it's Apache 2 https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/blob/release-8516/LICEN...

I haven't studied the CLA situation in order to know if a rug pull is on the table but Tofu and Valkey have shown that where there's a will there's a way

It's open source like a code dump. There's no support for open source IIRC.
I can't easily add &exclude_maintainers=true but https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Acl... sure does look like quite a bit of merged contributions to me, which is not what I would consider "code dump"
The whole point of a serverless platform is that it's hosted infrastructure. Open source doesn't mean it's feasible to run it yourself.
The whole point to you, but the whole point to me was having scale-to-zero because Aurora Serverless hurp-durp-ed on that. And I deeply enjoy the ability to fix bugs instead of contacting AWS Support with my hat in my hand asking to be put on some corporate backlog for 2073

Thankfully, you can continue to pay Databricks whatever they ask for the privilege of them hosting it for you

Aurora Serverless v2 now scales to zero[1]. And DSQL does pretty much by definition (they use an architecture closer to Neon).
