**Important addendum**:
85+
The main contributor to sqlx reacted to this post, and they wanted to clarify two things:
86+
87+
- sqlx is a project of the *Launchbase* company, not a personal project of *@abonander*.
88+
Although he is the main contributor, important decisions are taken in consultation with the company.
89+
If new drivers are monetized, the money will go to the company, not to him personally.
90+
The stated goal is to then allocate the money to the development of sqlx.
91+
- Most importantly: the current plan for the new drivers **is not to release them as proprietary**
92+
code as initially planned, but to release them as open source, under the more restrictive *AGPL* license.
93+
This means that they will be free to use for similarly licensed open source projects
94+
(unlike SQLPage, which is free to use even in conjunction with proprietary software, under the *MIT* license).
95+
Companies that want to use these future sqlx drivers in proprietary software will have to pay for a commercial license.
96+
That change in the decision has been announced in 2022, and I should have been aware of it when I wrote this post. My bad.
