Why would you need Hosting, Deployment help, LTS release When you are buying a "one click" aws managed service? Are feature or bug bounties even applicable i

  > Why would you need Hosting, Deployment help, LTS release When you are buying a "one click" aws managed service? You wouldn't however I was listing them for completeness-sake because they are common strategies employed by FOSS maintainer companies and there's still a market for them outside of the AWS world. > Are feature or bug bounties even applicable if you have to wait an unknown amount of time for it to reach you via AWS? That can actually end up being a selling point for moving off the AWS version. If you can effectively "advertise" that and a company really needs a specific feature for their product, that might give them the justification to jump ship to the non-AWS version of the product. > I'm merely suggesting THAT copyleft doesn't provide you any protection here and WHY that is potentially problematic. Oh for sure. However I would maybe say that it offers limited protection here (mainly offering protection in other ways) rather than none at all. And that can definitely be problematic no doubt but nowadays I think companies are a lot more hesitant on blindly lumping everything onto AWS compared to 5 or 10 years ago so I'd like to believe that AWS' authority in deciding what is and isn't a viable product is declining in the space.
