The biggest hypocrisy is when a company that's actively and aggressively trying to monetize the open source project, with ambitions to go public, shame companies like Amazon and Microsoft for doing the exact same thing.
And they talk about how it harms the development community...exactly how does it harm the average OSS developer if Amazon or Microsoft or Google are adopting the project and making it easier to deploy in cloud scenarios?
Seems like a 'have your cake and eat it too' scenario. These companies benefitted from massive adoption thanks to open source being developer friendly and free, yet they want it to be just restrictive enough that only their company can monetize it.
