Last month, Synadia threatened to pull NATS from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), moving from the Apache 2.0 license to a non-open source license. While the dispute lasted only a few days, with both Synadia and CNCF agreeing that the project remains in the open source ecosystem, the dispute left many concerned about the long-term availability and support of open source projects. NATS is an open source messaging system that enables secure, high-performance, and scalable communicatio
