I'm a bit surprised to see this is under the GPL. I expected it would be under a BSD or Apache license, especially given the funding source. I wouldn't say it's a deal-breaker but it does give me pause when even considering this database because future use will be architecturally limited (e.g., can't go fully embedded or rework it as an in-memory storage library) and it will complicate distribution of other (more permissively licensed) software. That's not a great database feature. Especially given the integration with Apache Spark and DoE funding, I would have expected Apache license more appropriate.
