Actually, I just meant that I think anything created by the
"Postgres-XC Development Group" as a whole should allow liberal usage
(whatever license that would be), including commercial use, and that
if someone creates something and wants some restrictions, they should
do it under their own name or company. Isn't that similar to the
PostgreSQL community?  If the others in the XC community wants to go a
different route, that's fine, I just hope it does not become overly
bureaucratic.

Found this.   The article refers to XC as well.

Thought folks here might find it interesting.

Best Wishes,

As Mason suggested, I think it's safer to begin with non-commercial
license.   Commercial use can be licensed in case-by-case basis and we
should license as long as the use helps XC.   There could be many
different commercial use and I'm not sure if the commercial license
helps XC in many corner cases.
