Let me see if I can assuage some of your concerns!
First off - DuckDB is MIT licensed, so you are welcome to use and enhance it essentially however you please!
DuckDB Labs is a commercial entity that offers commercial support and custom integrations. (https://duckdblabs.com/). If the MIT DuckDB works for what you need, then you are all set no matter what!
However, much of the IP for DuckDB is owned by a foundation, so it is independent of that commercial entity. (https://duckdb.org/foundation/)
Does that help? Happy to answer any other questions!
