Well, if you had a closed-source product, let's say a distributed KV-store just to say something ... well, I gotta say Redis in the KV-store example I guess... would you stick with Redis because it's -nowadays "somewhat"- open source even if you could get a several "X" advantage in performance and flexibility for the same buck?

I mean, I understand "why" the rise of "BSL" and similar licenses... some players have been a little bit nasty xD, and that's driving a bunch of younger companies that I have been talking to away from open-source as a mean to protect their products... And I'm curious about the community's perception of running "generous" (as in generally free for small business or tryouts) but not actual "open-source" solutions as part of their stack (as in ASL2, BSD or similar hyper permissive licenses).
