Hashicorp wrote a tool for the masses, which they made freely available via the Mozilla Public License. Other developers came along and decided to use that tool as the basis for a framework, which they spent time and money on, that provides a better solution than the one that Hashicorp provides (Terraform Cloud). Those same developers either contributed, or tried to contribute to the Terraform codebase in an effort to improve the base product. Hashicorp now sees these entities as a threat to their own business model because their product is superior to their own. So instead of learning from their competitors in order to improve their own product, Hashicorp decides to try and stifle them by changing the license for Terraform and trying to cut them off at the knees. There is no freeloading here. This is Hashicorp showing its poor sportsmanship with their attempts to strongarm the competition. I foresee this will not bode well for them.

Comment I had always advocated for Redhat... (Score 1) 118

I had always advocated for RedHat... Until IBM bought them. I tried to stick with them after, but they've completely ruined their reputation with this move. Before, I would always endorse a RedHat purchase order at the companies I work for. It always saw it as an opportunity to give back. I understand that RH has developers who contribute to the underlying foundation of Linux. But so does Debian, Ubuntu, Oracle, Amazon, Microsoft, SUSE, etc, and the hundreds of developers who devote their spare time to supporting their code, which, like everyone else, RH relies on beyond the scope of their own developers. And so now, when RH sits at the other end of the table at the next inevitable sales call, I will no longer advocate for them, as they have soured my trust in them to do the right thing and stand up for open source as they have in years past.
