Flyway upgrade requires enterprise version

[Saransh Sharma <sa...@muellners.com>]

Flyway 6+ requires enterprise edition...

MariaDB 5.5 is no longer supported by Flyway Community Edition, but still
supported by Flyway Enterprise Edition.



This breaks the Apache license also.

I've been using MariaDB from Debian repositories probably from the past 10
years and I've always ever used versions 10.0+

Yes, if we are talking about MySQL 5.5 or an equivalent, considering that
we can easily migrate any database running on this version to a later
version, this shouldn't be an issue.

of MariaDB if we want. Further, Fineract uses ASL for source code licensing
and Fineract has no source code dependency on any DBMS so there is no way
this can break license compatibility imo.

I concur with what Vishwas already stated there - I don't see this as a
real problem for Apache Fineract.

Personally I am very happy for whoever founded Flyway to have identified a
way to continue to actively maintain that great library AND also put a roof
over their head and food on their plate! Good for them.

PS: I'm always surprised how people live in some sort of weird illusion
about how open source REALLY works... ;-) Hint: There are very few magic

It's only them who really keep this project alive. Most parties actually
using Fineract have given back very very little to this project, as far as
I know.
