PowerSync moves all remaining FSL repos to Apache-2.0, betting open source drives business
glcst · x · 2026-11-04
PowerSync is doubling down on open source: it has moved all of its remaining source-available (FSL) repositories to Apache-2.0, making the entire core fully open source. The stated hypothesis: less legal friction leads to more adoption, which builds a stronger business, which in turn funds more open-source investment — a notable example of an infra company trading permissive licensing for growth.
