It’s crazy to me how many people in the software industry consider abiding by the terms of the software’s license, rather than some moral imperative to do more, to be “free riding”. If Hashicorp wanted to stop “free riding” the solution was and is simple: don’t make Terraform open-source. Open source works well without (much and often any) money involved. Businesses don’t. This is why open source is not an automatic business model.
