| License | HBase is distributed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. | The maker publishes SWC-DB under GPLv3 and invites inquiries about commercial-purpose licensing when activities are limited by GPLv3. |

HBase suits teams building large-scale applications that need consistent, real-time reads and writes, particularly for the listed telemetry, logging, analytics, and research workloads. It is for operators prepared to self-host and configure security and manage a distributed system.
SWC-DB may suit teams seeking a self-hosted, horizontally scalable database with a wide-column and time-series model. Users should account for the lack of joins and unsupported user-concept access controls.
