I wonder if CockroachDB abandoning the open source license[0] will have an impact on their choice to use it. It looks like the RFD was posted 1 day before the license switch[1], and the RFD has a section on licenses stating they intended to stick to the OSS build:

> To mitigate all this, we’re intending to stick with the OSS build, which includes no CCL code.

They already have another RFD for this: https://rfd.shared.oxide.computer/rfd/0508
