Once you become popular what stops amazon etc from simply implementing your open source software themselves and charging businesss. We’ve seen it time and again, perhaps most famously with elasticsearch.

In response, Airbyte took proactive steps such as bolstering the community and modifying the license terms to prevent this. Additionally, there's a certain inertia involved in applying for all integrations. These, however, will come pre-packaged in our cloud-hosted solutions via OAuth's. As this is a recurring issue, we plan to engage with the community for ideas on how to effectively address it.
