I just upgraded #MariaDB in my #Nextcloud server from 10.5 to 10.11 and it's using way more disk IO than before, with what should be the same general queries against it, and now getting occasional timeouts from it. 🤔

"The BSL license has no effect on the MariaDB Server, which will stay GPLv2 forever. The BSL is not used by the Foundation and everything the Foundation staff contributes to is fully open source."
-The MariaDB Foundation statement at the time

My point is not to convince anyone to stop using #MariaDB - definitely do - it's absolutely awesome and #opensource. It happens to be awesome because it is owned by a Foundation that guarded it against the Company doing exactly what #Hashicorp just did. I also can't think of a reason why #Hashicorp won't enjoy similar outcomes to MariaDB Company. Hopefully, the common tools (Terraform, Vault) will get forked and maintained by a Foundation. The company is screwed.

Anyone else remember how #MariaDB company adopting the "Business Source License" for MaxScale made MaxScale and the company super-profitable? No one? Oh yeah, that's because it didn't. #Hashicorp #BUSL

For the record, the #MariaDB database itself is governed by the MariaDB Foundation, not the company. The Foundation rejected the BUSL and the database has stayed under the GPL this whole time. The database and Foundation are doing very well, while the *company* by the same name that pulled the BUSL shenanigans is not.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Yup. There's a reason you won't find MongoDB, etc. in the Fedora repos. Interestingly, Hashicorp name dropped MariaDB but MariaDB itself isn't BUSL licensed. The MariaDB company created the BUSL during one of its misadventures but it wasn't applied to the flagship "product" like Hashicorp has done, but only for its MaxScale cloud service, which hasn't turned out to be very profitable..
@[email protected] @[email protected] The #MariaDB database is still very much #opensource and likely available in your favorite distribution. The #Hashicorp blog post was misleading, IMO, but not making the very important distinction between the flagship database license and a very specific proprietary orchestrator for the database made by the MariaDB company. The MariaDB Foundation governs the database and had nothing to do with BUSL.
