FAQ

There are 2 licenses for Redpanda. BSL covers our core and RCL (Redpanda Community License) which covers enterprise features.

  1. BSL: The intent as we mentioned in our blog post is to allow any use of the none enterprise features Redpanda unless you want to offer Redpanda as a service. The license will at some point in the future (change date) become Apache 2.

  2. RCL: Redpanda Community License - is intended to allow you to use enterprise features that you pay for.

We thank MariaDB and CockroachDB for pioneering the use of BSL for storage systems. It gave us a path to build an infrastructure company in the age of the hyperclouds.
