Status of Project Post Open Core Licensing Model about ongdb

[bradnussbaum]

Our intent is to move ONgDB forward in a fully open source manner governed by The Graph Foundation (non-profit). ONgDB 3.5 restores the Neo4j Enterprise source code that was removed by Neo4j, Inc. from https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j and continues development forward from there. Legacy Neo4j, Inc. contributions will continue to be licensed under AGPLv3 and net new Graph Foundation contributions will adopt a more open license structure. We are considering options right now from the community and would like to see the project eventually move fully to Apache2.

@bradnussbaum any news about this?

[bradnussbaum]

@renannprado You can find the latest releases on the repo all under AGPLv3. The current 3.6 release branch has reached milestone 1, the latest maintenance branch is 3.5.17 and 4.0 development is in progress.

@bradnussbaum sorry I believe I was not clear.

I meant news about changing the license to Apache 2.0 like you suggested, any news about it?

[bradnussbaum]

@renannprado The Graph Foundation can only change the license of source code where it holds the copyright. There will be a substantial amount in 4.0 but for 3.5 and 3.6 there are still many classes that Neo Technology Sweden holds copyright over. The goal of moving to Apache 2 is a very long term goal that will be achieved gradually throughout future releases.

@renannprado I think current version of ONgDB has moved to version 3.4, I am not sure though. Is there any recent version our there we might use?
