I do get that, it is kind of a gut punch though. I really wonder if it matters especially since the open source version may be coming out (I am not completely sold on the fork), could that kill hashicorp? I hope they keep their jobs and get to keep doing what they love. I do feel bad for the devs and others who really are put between a rock and a hard place. I do want to give them credit for their licence, I think they probably did the best with a bad situation. I am preferential towards open source but I am not an open-source/libre absolutist. I understand the hard decisions must be made when you are toiling away to get exploited by even bigger assholes like Amazon, Google, etc.

In which way has Amazon abused the openness of Terraform?
