That's not the norm that's being broken here. Most DB technologies provide a "pay for updates, if you stop paying you keep the last version you paid for" model.

That's not the norm that's being broken here. Most DB technologies provide a "pay for updates, if you stop paying you keep the last version you paid for" model. This is how Oracle prices its DB tech, this is how jOOQ is priced (which is probably the closest thing to Acadia), this is how MS prices its DB tech etc.
- hombre_fatal 1mo agoThe responses to the pricing aspect of this announcement around the web disagree. I'm not saying you can't find paid software, especially from Oracle and Microsoft, but there's a different expectation for "just-a-guy announcing his project on twitter". You can see a similar mentality regarding Elm in general where the approachability of one guy had people in some sort of parasocial entitlement to the project that you wouldn't see if, for example, it were Google or an unknown who built Elm.
