RE: Proposal to Make HiveSQL Free Again

in HiveDevs4 years ago

You might be right, as I don't know your setup. Directly asking for 2+ years without first having things documented in case you shutdown or something happens to you, is quite risky to entire community. But if there is already documentation that proofs that anyone could start their own instances, doesn't mean they should do it (given the cost of infrastructure is high as you wrote). It would give a lot more confidence, imho.

Sort:  

I made the proposal a long term one to avoid having to campaign for its funding every N months.
This does not represent a risk to the community because the proposal is not funded in its entirety at one time.
Small payments are made on a regular basis and can be interrupted at any time if the work or services provided no longer meets the expectations of the community.

And what if you just open source the code not the infrastructure so any one could set a hivesql server tracking certain tag or certain community? Opensource is a great choice because anyone could contribute to the code and audit it.

What are the cons on opensource hivesql?
