So the technical founders of both Redis and Hashicorp managed to step down before their respective businesses take on a shitstorm by steering away from FOSS. Unless I have my timelines wrong.
I wonder if they knew that was coming and disagreed. Or knew it was coming and didn't want to take the hit to their reputation. Agree or not with the move, there is a reputation hit. Or was it them leaving that enabled the change to be pushed through?
This is entirely speculation and just something I noticed with Hashi and now see repeat with Redis.
