So let me get this straight: Hashicorp gets private equity'd, changes its license to be a rentseeker against Amazon and Google, and now sells itself to the OG rentseeker.

What the fuck happened to open source?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

I would argue "open source". I've paid attention to hashicorp for a while. They were always about "getting that bag". Open source was a means to their ends.

Something was fucky with them since day 1 and the fact many companies were openly using alpha software on production environments (my work included). Always rubbed me the wrong way.

For good open source look at apps like Zabbix.
