Most of the comments on this thread make it appear that everyone will be affected by this change. The vast majority wont be affected at all.

This only affects people who are directly competing with hashicorp using hashicorps code. That sounds like a reasonable thing to want to prohibit.

Why should hashicorp have to spend tens of millions on product development only for a competitor to spend zero but be able to offer the same product? That sounds like a net negative for the whole industry as it disincentivizes R&D
