Could you please be more verbose about the licensing scheme and what it means for a company to decide to use Convex without the intention of paying right now?
For example, a corporation asks my company to build a fintech product that will be used by more than a million people in less than one year, we need to decide to use Convex or not, in the current licensing scheme how locked are we? Even if it's open source.
It is not that we don't want to pay for adding value to the whole product but there are a many options to choose.
Convex is FSL licensed which means you can basically do whatever you want with it re running a service, other than directly competing with Convex, i.e., reselling the Convex platform. There are no limitations on you running a business on top of this and no obligation to pay anything.
After 2 years the code becomes Apache 2.0.
Note that if you're running the open source release you're on the hook for managing and scaling your own reliable infrastructure, as described in the open source readme.
Supposing it is great, how business locked are you if you decide to use it?
