No, we're not. This is fairly tricky question, because there's
definitely a bunch of databases that are not used widely in production
environments, but are technically open source and implement some sort of
parallel query functionality.
For example there's MonetDB (which is using basically a Mozilla
license), which supports parallel queries since ~2012 or so.
There's also C-Store (Vertica is a commercial fork), and H-Store (VoltDB
is a commercial fork) - AFAIK both support query parallelism. Although
they are experimental / research project (and most companies use the
commercial forks in production), they use BSD license so technically
they are open source. Also, Stonebraker cooperated on both those
projects so neglecting them would be particularly annoying.
