MODERATORS
I think he is claiming that Hashicorp is a small company and that open source foundations are a ploy by big companies (like Amazon, I guess) to keep code available to them. That way they can benefit from the innovation of others. Then this will put off companies from developing open source since they don't want these big companies to profit off their hard work.
This is of course all total bollocks and he is just a greedy C-suite douchebag who is butthurt that the open source community wants to continue using the open source software that they helped create.
It's bullshit. If they wanted Terraform to not be open source they should have chosen that license early.
With redis, the creator is on record saying that they will never change the license. http://antirez.com/news/120
