It's great to see paths forward for the MySQL community! Exciting to see this become public.

Does the GPL2 license here mean that anyone writing extensions for VillageSQL must license extensions as GPL2? If so that's still quite far from the Postgres ecosystem where plenty of companies are built largely around being proprietary extensions.

Founder and CEO here. Great question. Right now, since you are linking MySQL files that means that all the extenions need to be GLPv2 or compatible license. In the future, we are hoping to have a stable SDK that is indepedent of the MySQL files so that if you run it out of process, that would give more licensing options to folks. There is a proof of concept of an out-of-process mode for the extensions in the alpha, but we haven't spent much time on proving it out.
