Our approach has enabled us to partner closely with the cloud providers to enable tight integration for our joint users and customers, as well as hundreds of other technology partners we work closely with. However, there are other vendors who take advantage of pure OSS models, and the community work on OSS projects, for their own commercial goals, without providing material contributions back. We don’t believe this is in the spirit of open source.
The Terraform situation, and the community’s response, demonstrates the power of open source. The original maintainers made a decision a subset of their community doesn’t agree with, they forked the project, and will continue building in a foundation.
