This is a middle finger to open source the business model.
This is a thumb up for open source the development model.
IMHO I will be more worried that a good piece of open source software is only commercialized by one company, by all accounts, that leaves a lot of risks unaddressed.
Lastly, to anyone claim that this hurts their feeling, I cannot help feel very surprised that one with some ideas of the business cycle and Amazon's (or any big corporations) track record, would not anticipate this. Personally, I am surprised that AWS have not started this in 2014, I guess they have been so successful that they probably cannot hire fast enough to get started.
