Whatever Stallman’s vision was - It seems he didn’t care enough to fight for it when sh@# hit the fan with Neo4j. If you don’t know what I am talking about check out link below. ht…

Not sure what you mean - ‘worked as intended’. The case is still going on in 9th circuit and has amicus briefs from SFC and FSF. There will be case law after appeal - FSF seems too…

At least Liquibase isn’t masquerading under a well known open source license, unlike Neo4j’s infamous AGPL bait-and-switch. Neo4j quietly slipped the Commons Clause into what looke…

Thank you. I did some more in depth research and it sounds like they just fixed their clustering mechanism to actually do some sharding like elasticsearch and TigerGraph. Calling i…

It sounds interesting but based on their tendency to overhype everything - I am a little skeptical. Have they finally managed to fix the scalability issues?

Neo4j performance is horrendous unless you have huge amounts of memory. I would wager that anyone who has used Neo4j for anything related to graphrag or used its vector features kn…

Neo4j has been trying to scare agencies into paying for enterprise licenses. I bet many more are going to dump them moving forward because of this behavior and the fact that the co…

+1 for Kuzu I would avoid Neo4j open source offerings (community edition, etc) like the plague until their court case is over. They are fighting to be able to use their interpretat…

Sounds about right. I don’t think their investors were too happy with their ‘open source’ activities. Neo4j got to where they are on the backs of the open source community, which m…

Copied from other thread: The case centers on who has the authority to interpret the terms of an open-source license: 1.The software developers who adopt licenses like GPLv3, MIT, …

Exactly - the court system does not accept PDFs generated by most open source tools. Pretty crazy. Adobe and Microsoft must love that.

If you are familiar with pacer or ACMS - it is an old antiquated system. You can’t submit PDFs for example generated from anything other than Adobe Acrobat or exported from Microso…

I think there is more to the story. Here is an interesting tidbit: The person Neo4j is fighting (Suhy) is the founder of ONgDB and DozerDB - the 2 biggest open source forks of Neo4…

The case centers on who has the authority to interpret the terms of an open-source license: 1.The software developers who adopt licenses like GPLv3, MIT, or Apache 2.0 for their pr…

It looks like the Free Software Foundation is not standing on the sidelines any longer and have called out Neo4j in the newly filed Amicus Brief filed February 28th, 2025. Many in …

The open-source community is finally realizing that Neo4j v. PureThink could set a dangerous legal precedent, allowing companies to impose new restrictions on open-source licenses.…

See my reply in main thread. I meant to post it as a reply to this message.

You may want to read the SFC amicus brief. From your comment, it sounds like you don’t really understand what is at stake, which is understandable considering the complexity. The G…

The danger here isn’t just about AGPLv3 or even GPLv3, it’s about setting a legal precedent that could be used to undermine all open-source licenses, including permissive ones like…

Thanks for looking out for the community!! The community needs more organizations like yours - who will stand up to this type of behavior. Neo4j’s actions are very disappointing. I…

You have to watch the whole video to get it…
