When Akka switched to a Business Source License (BSL), some developers said: "๐™ฝ๐š˜ ๐š ๐šŠ๐šข!". ๐Ÿ™…

They decided to work tirelessly to keep Akka open source and available to everyone. This is how Pekko was born.

These developers are ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜, dedicating their time, energy, and sometimes even their health to Pekko.
