Don't use it:

> By providing the beta version of FireDucks free of charge and enabling data scientists to actually use it, NEC will work to improve its functionality while verifying its effectiveness, with the aim of commercializing it within FY2024.

In other words, it's free only to trap you.

If it's good, then why not just fork it when (if) the license changes? It is 3-clause BSD.

In fact, what's stopping the pandas library from incorporating fireducks code into the mainline branch? pandas itself is BSD.

There is no code. The binary blob is licensed.
