A year ago in the initial announcement post you explicitly mentioned open sourcing it.

> When we are ready we will release Neki as an open source project suitable for running the most demanding Postgres workloads.

Has this changed?

They removed that line from the blog post:

Acknowledging the benifits of keeping a commercial product closed source is one thing, claiming open source has no value is another thing.

Sad to see this coming from a company that was itself built on the foundation of an open-source project like Vitess.

who said open source has no value? I worked at GitHub for 6 years i clearly love open source.

We maintain Vitess using our company funds. Why are you going after a small company for defending itself against companies like Amazon but not criticizing the reason we have to do this.

I would love to open source Neki and I have not said we won't.

See? You're proving my point. All you do is play games. Are you even capable of engaging without confrontation?

You've simply chosen not to listen, considering that they've voiced those concerns to me.
