I'm pretty sure, that you would make second that in few months, if there would be something like SQL Express - free with reasonable limits and no commercial support. I have handful of internal applications, that will never reach, say, 1gb in data and would be happy to switch that to embedded ravendb. Because right know I feel like I'm in closed circle - I don't know enough about ravendb to start using it for commercial projects and I don't know ravendb, because I don't use it in commercial projects, so may be I would start using it in some small internal utilities and after I would feel confident, I could press my management to use it in mainstream projects.

@Ayende: Congrats on Half million downloads! We are planning on porting one of our sites to .NET core 1.0 mvc 6 sometime after the summer. Does the 3.0 client work with .NET core or do we have to wait?

Captain Kappa, That is already out. We don't have a stable release because NuGet doesn't allow a stable package to depend on unstable packages, and the CoreCLR packages are all unstable at this point, but it is here. See: https://www.nuget.org/packages/RavenDB.Client/3.5.35052-Unstable
