I said "most". More: PipelineDB, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Command Prompt, Yahoo, SRA Inc., Translattice. It's a pretty well-established pattern in the Postgres community, and responsible for funding a bunch of PostgreSQL's development. Some vendors more than others.

I'd also point out that open-core is a business model, and a comment on businesses, it isn't a statement about a particular project. To say that PostgreSQL is "open-core" because some of the companies contributing to it use that model wouldn't make any sense.

"Historically, many PostgreSQL companies have been open core. Why is TimescaleDB special?"

Phone Home isn't particulary a property of open core. Heck, we discussed doing it when I was at Sun. (I talked them out of it due to potential backlash)

I tend to agree with
@kjjaeger about how it sets up the corporate interests against that of the community. What may have been lacking in this case were heavily involved contributors to the project who were valued enough to argue back against the corporate interests and be heard.3 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

Or just that startups often are heavily pressured to get this kind of data from investors (or to get investors). Hard to resist that as an individual contributor.

Not even just startups. At Sun we were pressured to get solid user counts to justify our support headcount.

Sure, but I think that's a less existential (on a company wide level at least) form of pressure.

It was pretty existential pressure on the Sun-Postgres team. Which was as much staff as many early startups.
