I prefer reasonable business decisions that support open source software over companies baiting and switching.

If Hashicorp didn’t have a business plan that made money off terraform being OSS then the time for that was years ago.

If you release as OSS then your competitors will use it to. This is predictable and all plans should account for it.

This competition didn’t hurt Hashicorps chances of profitability, they were factored in from the beginning.
