HashiCorp Co-Founder introduces 'business source' model

HashiCorp co-founder, Armin Daddgar, announced that their future products will follow a 'business source' model instead of being open source. Although they attribute the success of their open source products to commercial customer partnerships, they express concerns about other vendors benefiting from the community-driven open source projects without contributing back.
