PgEdge Goes Open Source

kstrauser

And under the PostgreSQL license, an actual OSI approved one, not a fake open source in name only monstrosity. Very nice!

If you're referring to the post from yesterday, they actually relicensed it as Apache 2.0: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45196173

No, I had in mind different recent announcements when companies selected closed licenses that let you look at the code but not actually use it, then bragged about open sourcing their project.

Announcement title and actual license divergence has made reading these announcements a bit of a chore on HN since you're required now to read the full post. Good on these guys for not open washing their project.

And of course it doesn't help the tedium of reading HN that there's 5 very vocal commentators who want to the world to know that "OSI doesn't own the definition of open source", even though when asked will define open source as "can be commercially restricted".

I think it’s great they’re opening it up. I hope they have a plan to defend when the hyperscalers show up to pillage beyond providing cloud containers and VMs as a paid service.

Anyone has any experience with PgEdge and can tell us about reliability? :-)

I wanted to try it months ago ... but I stopped when I read in the install documentation :

To configure passwordless sudo, open the /etc/sudoers file, and add a line of the form: %username ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

And the same user should have a password less SSH access with private key ...

Weird, I posted this yesterday, why didn't HN detect the duplicate? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45203769

Your's has to little upvotes. I think it is only detected as duplicate if it had made the front page in the last few months.

Hm, I've had my submissions deduped before, where the existing post also had few upvotes and was definitely not on the front page.
