> ParadeDB, is guarded behind AGPL

What a wonderful ad for ParadeDB, and clear signal that "TigerData" is a pernicious entity.

They deemed AGPL untenable for their business and decided to create an OSS solution that used a license they were comfortable with and they are somehow "pernicious"? Perhaps take a moment to reflect on your characterization of a group that just contributed an alternative OSS project for a specific task. Not only that, but they used a VERY permissive license. I'd argue that they are being a better OSS community member for selecting a more permissive license.

Laundering actual freedom respecting licenses through genai may give the poster more freedom, but that additional freedom is solely to avoid sharing any improvements to the freedom respecting code they are benefiting from with others.

Okay then!

If you agree with something, you can just upvote it. I don't see what your comment adds to the conversation.

The irony of there being a downvote button too.
