I think HashiCorp, as an infrastructure company, made a big mistake by choosing the BSL license (which was primarily designed for databases). Ultimately, this will destroy their community which in the long-term will also mean a lot of lost revenue... It is also very interesting to see how this will play out specifically for Vault vs Infisical. So far, Infisical has been growing incredibly, especially after the license switch.
