HashiCorp's shift to business source

HashiCorp co-founder Armin Daddgar has announced a shift in their open source model, adopting a business source approach. This change means that vendors providing competitive services using HashiCorp's community products will no longer be able to incorporate future releases, bug fixes, or security patches. While there have been mixed reactions to this move, it highlights a growing trend of open source businesses making similar shifts and raises questions about the future of the open source landscape.
