MaxDB versions 7.5 and 7.6.00 are available as an open source product for several years now. These continue to stay in open source. This is maintained and driven by an open source community. We are proud of past SAP contributions to open source and the continued contributions of the community to maintain it. But SAP is not making any more active contributions to it. Over the last years, we have continued to evolve the SAP MaxDB technology and have made very significant investments and innovations in this technology. These innovations are not in open source. Thus the latest MaxDB product is not open source.
