Open-sourcing a patent in the database space is rare. Do you think this signals a shift where companies will realize that open ecosystems drive adoption faster than closed IP walls?

I think no-open-source is a no-go. In the "best" case it adds a lot of friction in a sales funnel for premium offerings. You can avoid open source in special cases, mostly without complementary offerings.
