OrioleDB Patent: now freely available to the Postgres community
Supabase has completed the acquisition of OrioleDB and is making the related patent freely available to all users. OrioleDB is a high-performance storage extension for PostgreSQL that shows 5.5x performance improvements over traditional heap storage. The project remains open source with an open contribution model, and Supabase aims to eventually upstream OrioleDB into PostgreSQL itself. The patent license is intended as defensive protection for the open source community rather than offensive enforcement.
