This seems needed given the state of Lightbend/licensing. Agreed with Roman's sentiment, though getting Lightbend to change at this point seems unlikely [ also, I don't have direct contacts there so am not well positioned to try to negotiate any changes ]. Glad to see people coming together around this. Notably, I imagine the Flink community will have an interest in collaborating [ 1 ]. Happy to help the effort, however I can be useful!
