Becoming more the norm for them, Neki is the same.

Immediately rules out ever using them (though I don't currently have any problems that would benefit from that level of scale currently, have in the past though).

Postgres's license allows this but for me (personally) it leaves a bad taste.

Also it's not really "full-text search for Postgres" it's "full-text search for our hosted version of Postgres" so the title is a little misleading.

Uh, isn’t this becoming the norm everywhere ever since LLMs have been trained on OSS without credit or attribution? Why wouldn’t you want to hide your stuff going forward?

In my view, OSS is only going to move more and more towards one of two models: open core + proprietary functionality (e.g. MongoDB) OR open source + private tests (e.g. SQLite).

Why would you need super fast search for local testing?

Why don’t you like Postgres’ license? It’s as permissive as a license gets.
