I'm really curious what Hashicorp expected here. I supposed their next move is to control access to terraform cloud by versioning. But that'd chop off a big portion of their userbase. So maybe they grandfather old tfvers in and expect new to use 1.15 or 1.5 I forget.
- pizzafeelsright 3y agoMy guess is they went IPO. There was a massive cash infusion. Good. Eighteen months go by and people will be exiting. That means cash and talent leave. Now sales are tough. Pricing is terrible. We've been using their services for years while being offered enterprise services without much incentive. Why the license change? Lock out competitors or perhaps a charitable assumption, secure future service offerings without being exploited by cloud offerings that use their code while competing. The decision was a business decision. The amount they spend on sales to sell what I think is an amazing product, just over priced, is their doom. Why lock an enterprise into a three year contract tied to usage?
