You'll have to ask Brent Ozar Unlimited about this. We own this server, so I think we're OK. If we're out of compliance, I'm happy...

You know, it's funny, I had a...

It would really depend on your revenue model, and your comfort level in replacing the consultants that left enough of your tools behind for the potential customer to...

Brent,

It would seem like an MIT license would be more friendly. Of course, the think I appreciate most about your license is your thoughtful reply to a sincere...

To elaborate a little more about the licensing - here's some of the challenges we've faced in the past.

We found a consulting company that was modifying sp_Blitz®, then installing it...

The "Joe's school of DBAing OpenMCM" would be looked at as a joke, while an OpenMCM from "Brent Ozar, Inc," or "Gail Shaws School of SQL" would be shining...

A lot of the fun of the MCM lab was that the questions had surprising catches. The questions and answers alone weren't enough - the lab environment itself had tricky...

Even with trusted sources - sometimes (often?) we can get it wrong, too. It's easy to misinterpret a 140-character question, or leave out a crucial detail.

Another thing I like about...

It's funny how often this happens to me in real life. Working with a customer yesterday, their #1 most resource-consuming query was running every 5 minutes to fetch all new...
