Reply to comment by suflaj in [D] Are ML platforms honestly useful or just money-making on software that's really free? by [deleted]

Well yes in the sense that DataBricks is from creators of Spark so one may perceive that it's just "enterprise Spark", where the product is essentially quite same, but it's just sold as a service.

Azure Databricks is Apache Spark-based, but it is made by Microsoft, which is obviously not Apache. Furthermore, Apache Spark does not compare to Databricks, nor is it published under a copyleft license, so this again seems like product and ideology incompatibility rather than an objective reason.
