This is the way our community has operated for at least the 6ish years I have been involved with it. The Apache project develops the database, others in the community develop drivers. It's the way we have always worked, I'm sorry if you don't like that.
DataStax has released their driver under a license that gives you free reign to fork it and do with it what you please if you don't like what they are doing with it. https://github.com/datastax/java-driver/blob/3.0/LICENSE This conversation clearly isn't going anywhere so I will be bowing out of it now. > On Jun 3, 2016, at 10:37 PM, Johan Edstrom <seij...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > As an Apache guy, one to another, seriously, how would you respond to that? > > > > > >> On Jun 3, 2016, at 9:33 PM, Jason Brown <jasedbr...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> The client-server protocol is well defined in the Cassandra repo, so any one >> may implement a client library for any language.
