<3 the license

https://github.com/tensorchord/VectorChord/blob/main/LICENSE

What happens at a lot of places:

Elastic license not on legal’s approved license list - need to get special approval from legal to use this.

Legal’s license list says AGPL needs case by case legal review - so need to get special approval from legal to use this.

Immediate thought: is there another solution which I don’t need special approval from legal to use?

All licences restricting commercial use will need to be cleared, that's the point.

Yes… but from my point of view, if there is an alternative solution without those restrictions, I’ll go with that. I’d only consider a solution with such restrictions if its other advantages were so compelling as to overcome that (and even then, if one has to ask legal, it isn’t guaranteed they’ll say “yes”)

Yes, that is the point.
