Dremio does have a non-commercial OSS offering, with a considerable user base, AFAIK: https://github.com/dremio/dremio-oss

@danicafine Can you clarify which of these are not OSS engines? StarRocks is AL2, Trino is AL2, Dremio is also AL2, the Apache projects naturally, too. Mean, we could link to the GitHub repos, where the license is prominently visible, WDYT? |
|
Dremio query engine is OSS (Apache license). If the criteria here is only ASF projects, we should remove trino and starrocks then. |
|
Also, generally speaking, what's the problem mentioning non oss projects/products ? A lot of ASF projects do that. |
|
Totally fine to mention non-OSS projects elsewhere on the site. But I think it's generally a better practice to focus on OSS, especially on the front page. I'm updating the PR to make it explicit that we're referring to Dremio's OSS offering. |

@danicafine Within Apache we have a lot of project who mention other OSS and commercial offerings they work with, also very "front and center". |

I noticed that a non-OSS query engine is included on the front page. It doesn't feel right to include commercial offerings front and center.
As a solution, I suggest that we remove the mention, focus on OSS engines here, and, perhaps, add a different page in the future to include vendors.
