Open Source Software: True Love or Business Transaction
“Open source” is one of the concepts that is widely used and at the same time is widely misunderstood.
I think that is misunderstanding, not injustice leads to wave of frustration every time next company make a switch from Open Source Licence to Business Source License. HashiCorp, Confluent, Elastic, Redis and others did prioritize their business with Business Source License move.
Do they being greedy? No. They just make money, as business suppose to do.
