The wording in that post was an unintentional miss on my part. Apologies for that. We’ve just fixed it. Thanks for flagging it!
To add some context, PeerDB was originally released under ELv2 well before the acquisition. During the acquisition we made a choice to keep the project as-is rather than change its license, so this wasn’t a new decision made at that time — just continuity with how the project already existed.
We appreciate the feedback, around integration and downstream OSS adoption. That overall makes sense. We’ll take it into account as we think about licensing going forward.
Separately, I really wish you tried PeerDB out. The ease-of-use and performance around larger Postgres datasets (TBs to 10s of TB) would’ve been something you would have probably appreciated. That is something we optimized a lot on over that last few years. May be sometime in the future! :)
