Pasar del calvo de Barón Rojo a la cantante de Evanescence también es ir a hacer daño. #CachitosNochevieja

@fuzzychef I think the key part is "an offering competitive with #HashiCorp products or services" and is addressed in point 6 of the FAQ:

"6. Who is impacted by this change?
Organizations providing competitive offerings to HashiCorp will no longer be permitted to use the community edition products free of charge under our BSL license."

End users, be it personal or commercial for internal use, are allowed to use #Hashi products under the #BSL.

@mcepl @fuzzychef Hold your horses. It’s as easy as reaching out to Hashicorp to get in writing what is your organisation use case and decide if you want to pay or not.

I’m not a lawyer and obviously my previous message was not any kind of legal advice.

Your aggressive reply is completely out of place in a civil discussion.

@mcepl @fuzzychef

thank you. AFAIK they cannot re-license the past so it would be possible to continue using the Hashicorp versions prior to adoption of the BSL while migrating to an alternative or even fork if there is a community willing to continue development in an OSS fashion.

And I completely agree with you. Hashicorp's change of license is, in the words of @bcantrill, "shitting in the pool of Open Source pool and disgusting corporate behaviour".*
