2022-09-08 20:11:10 UTC - Brendan Doyle: The question of a fork becomes a tradeoff of three different options that I can think of:
1. Adopt a free commercial license from lightbend as this is an open source project, which then requires all commercial use of openwhisk in production to get an akka license (seems like a non-starter to me as it would potentially kill use of the project to require a transitive license like this) 2. Fork akka. Hope that companies start contributing and building new features on top of just handling security vulnerabilities, though in reality lightbend really has been the only ones contributing for many years I would be a little surprised if any other major corporations have the expertise on the core project to make the investment to innovate on it. You'll never get any innovation from lightbend once you fork as you can't merge the three year old open source releases into the fork. This could have an adverse effect on ability to make innovations to the core openwhisk project years from now. 3. Continue operating on the apache license and wait three years for new releases. Openwhisk then loses security guarantees, which likely would cause the same problems in option 1 with losing use, though maybe to a lesser effect. And a special option 4. _rewrite openwhisk_ :sweat_smile: https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1662667870073079 ---- 2022-09-08 20:31:22 UTC - Dave Grove: My i-am-not-a-lawyer instinct is that option 1 is not compatible with how the ASF does things. We don’t have to make any hasty decisions, but I think we probably end up doing 3 for a while, and then either 4 or take advantage of someone else having done 2. We’re not going to be the only project this impacts. https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1662669082630869?thread_ts=1662669082.630869&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2022-09-08 21:06:00 UTC - Ben Carver: How can I avoid HTTP 429 errors ("Too Many Requests") from OpenWhisk? Is it simply a matter of increasing the value of the `actionsInvokesPerminute` and `triggersFiresPerminute` configuration parameters? https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1662671160890159?thread_ts=1662671160.890159&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ----
