So it's not in contract...

DataStax has supported open source throughout its history. Examples include, but are not limited to, Apache Cassandra and Apache Pulsar which are core to DataStax business.

Microsoft has also supported open source for a long time. It still counts even if it was part of "embrace, extend, extinguish" right?

Thanks for the comment - this is important to disclaim: Actually, it's in DataStax's best interests for Langflow to remain free, open source, and vendor agnostic, so they're making that claim too!

DataStax wants more developers to build on AI and we want to help developers do this, and we don't see that c…

not to rain on your parade, but it was also in HashiCorp's best interest to keep Terraform free & open...until it wasn't. also see Amazon + Elasticsearch. i don't think you're in a position to be making claims about a product that you no longer control.

He's simply affirming the claims made by the company that now owns LangFlow, and he is in the position to make those claims in good faith - what you do with those claims is up to you.

Nope. DataStax has made no such claims & their own press release on the LangFlow acquisition says nothing of the sort.
