My .02 re: the copyright: the library is licensed ASL v2.0. Who it's originally copyrighted by / to (Jonathan personally, DataStax as a corporate entity, Santa Claus, my dog :)) doesn't really have any impact on the legalities of our ability to make use of it or the durability or safety of the code in our ecosystem.
Especially for an optional feature with clear alternative implementations, this doesn't bother me at all. It's well within ASF policy to include permissively licensed code copyrighted by other people or entities. On Thu, Sep 21, 2023, at 1:02 PM, Mick Semb Wever wrote: > >> I am confused by your +1 here.
