Cockroach Labs shakes up its licensing to force bigger companies to pay
Cockroach Labs, the developer behind CockroachDB, is changing its licensing once again -- five years after abandoning open source.
The company revealed today that its consolidating its self-hosted product under a single enterprise license, a move designed to encourage larger businesses to step up and pay for the features they really need. All customers with more than $10 million in annual revenue will now have to pay, a fee that is based on the number of CPUs or CPU cores within the server system where the database is deployed — essentially, the bigger the database deployment, the bigger the cost.
