Ditto in the new Mission Impossible movie. Rogue AI and so wildly implausible that it was only enjoyable once I recognized that *everything* about the movie is implausible, and gave in. 🙂 https://

HashiCorp License Change Through Realpolitik Lens
By
–
I just used the word "realpolitik" in a blog post and it felt so good to revisit my undergraduate and graduate studies in international relations. (Yes, of course it's about the Hashicorp license change. )

Technology adoption and business creation before public markets
By
–
So, pre-1999 when RHT went public? Because as soon as there was adoption in sufficient quantity there has always been business.

Elastic executives accountability for strategic licensing decisions
By
–
PS by your calculation, every single exec at Elastic should be fired, along with their board. Because you're arguing (implicitly) that but for their license change, they'd have continued to grow at ~124%. That is 100% a fireable offense at the c-level to get it that wrong….

Open Source Scaling: When Reach Doesn’t Equal Contribution
By
–
Which better reach/scale does NOT translate into "contributing more." So it's a downward spiral that leaves the code creator worse off (and, ultimately, everyone worse off). But…community! Sure, point to PG, K8s, and Linux. Not many other big examples to use, unfortunately.

Software regulation impact on cloud market concentration and revenue
By

Elastic’s License Change Accelerates Cloud Partnerships
By
–
Which says as much about the base they're growing off than it does about the license. Regardless, I'm not here to defend Elastic's decision. I can say that it doesn't seem to have slowed us and it has *absolutely* accelerated our partnership with the clouds.

Board-Level Decision Impact on Public Company Profitability Strategy
By
–
They're nowhere near profitability. Trust me: this was a board-level decision and wasn't made lightly. It certainly wasn't made "so we can get a bit more money." Life as a public company doesn't work that way.

HashiCorp License Change: Business Necessity Behind OSS Decisions
By
–
I've worked for OSS companies for 20+ years. No one happily adopts a non-OSI approved license. It's a board-level decision,made after long deliberation. If Hashi is doing it, it's not bc "we want to be richer." It's bc of a serious risk to their ability to continue to fund sw dev

Cloud Provider Pressure on HashiCorp: Behind-the-Scenes Industry Tensions
By
–
And for those that have been in my DMs, challenging any pressure from clouds, well, I'm sorry, but there's been plenty behind the scenes. I worked for the largest cloud provider. I have stories (which, no, I can't and won't share). Hashi didn't do this unprovoked.
