Is what AWS did legal? Yes. Ethical? Meh. Rude? Yes. Against the spirit of OSS? Hell yeah.
Is the author calling them out fair. Yes.
Also fair, me assuming everybody defending AWS here is a terrible person.
- rakah 6y agoI agree. I'm not even sure I understand defending AWS here from a purely capitalist perspective. When a large company gives thanks to a open source developer they are encouraging that developer to continue contributing. That could possibly benefit the company in the future - to act otherwise doesn't seem to serve their own interests very well.
