The leadership at Hashicorp doesn't seem to "get" open source development, or at least doesn't seem to value the community of their customers.
The change of license could have been attributed to them trying to protect their SaaS business if you squinted. But now they're saying "this is ours and you can't play", even though that hurts tf in the long run due to alienation of the community. I get that they need to generate revenue, but I don't understand how alienating their customers makes money even in the long term?

Did leadership or ownership change recently?
