source

core features withheld

no

Apache-2.0 license body confirmed. The repository is public and unarchived and builds the whole product, and the README describes no paid tier, enterprise edition or license-gated build beside it, so source is public and the core ungated.

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dolthub/dolt/main/go/go.mod recorded 2026-09-30

  go.mod declares the Go module "github.com/dolthub/dolt/go" in the public repository.

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dolthub/dolt/main/LICENSE recorded 2026-09-30

  LICENSE file is the Apache-2.0 text: "Apache License" and "Version 2.0, January 2004" and "TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION".

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dolthub/dolt/main/README.md recorded 2026-09-30

  README calls Dolt "a SQL database that you can fork, clone, branch, merge, push" like a Git repository and lists Hosted Dolt and DoltLab as separate options; searched the body for enterprise, paid tier, license key and commercial edition: none.

Dolt ships as a compiled Go binary rather than a package on any registry this map tracks, so GitHub stars are the only comparable adoption signal; the `dolt` name on PyPI belongs to an unrelated project. A star reflects interest rather than confirmed use, so it cannot show how many databases are actually running Dolt.

Dolt provides cell-level versioned SQL storage behind a MySQL interface, with branch, merge and diff semantics. Its full-text indexes support only basic functionality and no vector retrieval is documented, so it covers much less of the persist-index-retrieve path than Vespa does.

• https://github.com/dolthub/dolt/blob/main/README.md recorded 2026-08-18

  README still documents a SQL database that forks, clones, branches, merges, pushes and pulls like a Git repository, reachable as a MySQL database, with version control exposed through system tables, functions and procedures and through a Git-like command line.
