Hi Emmanuel,
No, Sequoia is Apache licensed and should remain that way. Our
contributions will continue to use the Apache license.
For new products, yes, we would ask people to give up copyright.
Cheers, Robert

Hi Robert,
1.) Product direction. We are actively working on a set of
products that will initially extend our current commercial uni/
cluster products but will eventually replace them. The Myosotis
product represents a part of that strategy. You'll notice it is
licensed under GPL. It is our intention to license the new
products under GPL using the MySQL model--you can use it for open
source stuff but if you want to get out of the GPL terms you buy a
license. It's a common business model that helps make house
payments.
Does that also mean that new additions to the Sequoia code base
will be contributed under a GPL license? The whole Sequoia package
would then become APL/GPL dual-licensed?
Would that also mean that contributors will have to give up their
copyright to Continuent (like it is the case for MySQL) for their
contributions so that Continuent could dual-license GPL/commercial
its products?
Thanks for the clarification,
Emmanuel
