Any plans to build akka-http-backend for non-apache licensed version of akka (> 2.6.20)

Hi,

Current akka-http-backend artifacts are only available for Scala2.
Latest version of akka-http:10.7.0 and akka-stream:2.10.2 which all have already Scala3 support.

What are the plans for akka-http-backend ?

Waiting 3 years till BSL version reverts to Apache 2 and then build with that version? Then, I guess, it is somewhere in March 2026 as the 1st scala3 artifacts are akka:2.8.0 (March 2023) and akka-http:10.5.0 (February 2023)
or
build akka-http-backend with the latest akka dependencies? Not sure how to deal with licenses (maybe just mentioning somewhere that you need a commercial license to run akka)

I don’t think an Apache2-licensed project can or should depend on code that is propietary-licensed. So for now I think March 2026 seems to be the date when we could include an akka-http build for Scala 3.

Kind of agree with you. It is still sad, but understandable.

… exploring my options :slight_smile:
