Unlike Terraform and Redis, the rights to PostgreSQL are owned by a non-profit. Not only do they lack the profit driver to change the license, a license change would require agreement across a majority of that organization's governing body to change the license. This governance is one of the many reasons why open source projects owned/managed by non-profit foundations are preferable to open source products owned by for-profit companies.
Thanks for the tribute to Simon and 2ndQ, also for your kind words about my talk! Love your channel.
No problem! I get a lot out of your content as well.

That argument sounded a lot better before OpenAI..
Great update. I agree with the comments on 2nd Quadrant, I also miss them.
It is a certainly a sad loss with Riggs passing.
rip Simon Riggs. Thank you for everything you have done for postgresql
Then fork redis and postgresql.
I hope this is not an April Fool. that they not promise to go close source route.
I'm basically not watching any videos filmed on this accursed day.
I feel ya, but the Redis stuff happened last week. So, no April Fools' Day with that.
