Therefore, as an OSS product, SpacetimeDB does not scale.
SpacetimeDB is not Open Source Software. It is "source-available," but is a commercial product.
Interesting, it seems that it's Source Available but converts to Open Source (AGPL) in 2031. First time I've seen licensing like that.
https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB/blob/master/LIC...
The date keeps changing on each release so every version bump becomes AGPL five years from the date its published. Its an interesting model, but necessary to be aware of the nuance in case you ever want to consume it.
ml5.js has a similar license: https://github.com/ml5js/ml5-library?tab=License-1-ov-file
Their license is basically "use freely unless our community decides you violated the code of conduct, for three years"
But given that it's vibe coded, it's probably in the public domain. Check with your lawyers :)
