IANAL but that isn't obvious to me. What if you have an automated process to build images that you use in a hosted service product thay competes with a hashicorp product. I could see an argument that you are "embedding" packer in your service. And any CI/CD product can no longer include building images with packer (at least as long as it includes a distribution of packer), or probably even have packer pre-installed.

Yes agreed, those people would want to maintain a fork from the latest MPL release. However it is not clear that those people exist. In addition, it is not clear that there are enough of those people, with different enough commercial product, such that they would benefit from collaborating in an open-source manner. My point is, OP is probably not one of them.
