Re: New licensing for Akka
Just to squash concerns, we will make sure this license change will not affect Flink users in any way. On 07/09/2022 11:14, Robin Cassan via user wrote: Hi all!

Re: New licensing for Akka
There is some more discussion going on in the related PR [1]. Based on the current state of the discussion, akka 2.6.20 will be the last version under Apache 2.0 license. But, I guess, we'll have to see where this discussion is heading considering that it's kind of fresh.

Re: New licensing for Akka
We'll have to look into it. The license would apply to usages of Flink. That said, I'm not sure if we'd even be allowed to use Akka under that license since it puts significant restrictions on the use of the software. If that is the case, then it's either use a fork created by another party or switch to a different library. On 07/09/2022 11:14, Robin Cassan via user wrote: Hi all!

New licensing for Akka
Hi all! It seems Akka have announced a licensing change https://www.lightbend.com/blog/why-we-are-changing-the-license-for-akka If I understand correctly, this could end-up increasing cost a lot for companies using Flink in production. Do you know if the Flink developers have any initial reaction as to how this could be handled (using a Fork? moving out of akka, even though it's probably incredibly complex?)? Are we right to assume that this license applies when using akka through Flink? Thanks a lot! Robin
