I think my favorite reaction to Amazon's aggression is Grafana Labs. They released their code under Affero GPL but let you use a different license if you pay them. Sort of like a new version of the Qt model.
- tsimionescu 4y agoAGPL does nothing to protect commercial projects from AWS. Look at MongoDB: they had been AGPL for a loooong time, but moved to a non-FOSS license specifically because of AWS. AWS has no problems with giving away the code for any managed-X service they. The magic that they charge for is the managed part - deployment, autoscaling, upgrade management, and other Operations stuff that no FOSS license can compel them to make public.
