We'll have to look into it.
The license would apply to usages of Flink.
That said, I'm not sure if we'd even be allowed to use Akka under that
license since it puts significant restrictions on the use of the software.
If that is the case, then it's either use a fork created by another
party or switch to a different library.

Hi all!
It seems Akka have announced a licensing change

If I understand correctly, this could end-up increasing cost a lot for
companies using Flink in production. Do you know if the Flink
developers have any initial reaction as to how this could be handled
(using a Fork? moving out of akka, even though it's probably
incredibly complex?)? Are we right to assume that this license applies
when using akka through Flink?
Thanks a lot!
