I'm currently working as a dev for a large-ish company.

I have the option of building a new support tool for lower environments 
(i.e. non-production, very boring DB reads + logic scenario) but it needs 
to support a few different databases, most of which are open-source, one of 
which is Oracle.

I can maybe use some new tech, especially if I can justify it in terms of 
implementation speed.  I use JOOQ for my personal stuff (on postgres) and I 
think it would be a good fit for what I need to do - but I probably won't 
be using it because I can't (won't) invest the time trying to convince 
folks overseas to buy it. 

I think the current license model hurts JOOQ's ability to be used in 
"gentle introduction" scenarios that developers often use to evangelise new 
tools.

Short term: Would the old open source 3.10 branch work for this purpose? Is 
that why it still gets the odd bug-fix release? Are pull-requests on the 
3.10 branch welcome? 

Long term: Would you consider a "low functionality" mode for JOOQ, where it 
can talk to pro-supported databases, but only uses a sort of "lowest common 
denominator" pure-SQL mode?  Or possibly a license tier for 
"non-production" purposes (this idea's a bit iffy, I'd predict a lot of 
uncertainty over the definition of production)?
