"I really think that copyright assignment (CLA) is wrong, because it permits relicensing."
Bryan and Kelsey discuss #Hashi's open source failure and what it means for OSS community:
The face when a sales person says "hey did you hear about #Hashi's new #licensing model? When can we do that too?" #opensource #OSS #BSL
#hashi #licensing #opensource #oss #bsl
In fact, if you think hard about their actual terms, you'll figure out that the only people who can still use Hashi projects for free are home users working on hobbies, provided that those hobbies generate no income at all.
That's not open source. That's Shareware!
Yes, welcome to the return of Shareware.
So, I wanna explain why #Hashi's "commercial use" restriction means a proprietary license.
Theoretically, if you were using their project to work on an OSS project that you gave away for free, it wouldn't apply to you, right?
Well, no.
Take, for example, the Kubernetes Project. Kubernetes is a free, open source project, owned by a nonprofit. We also use Terraform to support our infra in a couple places.
Should be fine, right? Nope!

Setting up #Hashi #Vault on #kubernetes can be easy using #helm. In this post, I'll cover the #helm chart on an on-prem #k3s cluster, auto-unseal with #Azure #AKV and then #MFA backed user-pass login using the free tier of #Duo. https://freshbrewed.science/2023/02/21/vault.html

@Kraweela @rotzgoer @lichtscheu Ja, das lese ich öfter. Weiß bei mir nur nicht, ob es von #Hashi kommt oder von anderen Erkrankungen. Das Ergebnis ist wohl das gleiche..und Jod meide ich.
