DuckDB stays open source while the team behind it goes to work for Amazon
DuckDB creators Hannes Mühleisen and Mark Raasveldt joined Amazon as employees, but the open source analytical database remains free under the MIT license. The DuckDB Foundation maintains governance of DuckDB, DuckLake, and Quack, and Amazon has not acquired the project or altered its licensing terms.
Why it matters: Organizations relying on DuckDB for embedded analytical workloads can continue using the project without licensing changes, while practitioners should monitor how Amazon's involvement influences the project's technical direction and feature prioritization.
