    I do not feel good about this. I really want SQLite (and the Turso re-write of it) to win for tiny apps that people will build more and more with LLMs. Desktop or server. Even serverless.

    The core tech is open source so that is good. Will it stay? I guess Turso hosting was not making enough revenue?

      You just answered your own question. Why would anyone pay for Turso if the core of the software is available for free and being licenced permissively under MIT?

        Liability. Compliance. Chain-of-responsibility. Risk. This has always been the case in business, and it will continue to be the case (at least until artificial intelligence actually replaces that need).
