Primarily a profit driven motive. Open source doesn't always mean free as in beer.
>elastic killed elasticsearch
For companies like amazon who are fundamentally incompatibl with truly open source yes, this is a killing blow. For everyone else its just a change in ToS.
In 2021 what's changing is many companies and devs are getting rightly upset about multinationals ripping off their code without so much as an attribution. These companies are saying that not only is your code not worth money, it isn't even worth the exposure on your resume.
