Hashicorp wouldn’t be in the position they are without being open source in the beginning.
Think about all the reduction in sales cost their open source model resulted in. Because they were open source, they had a foot in the door and in-built evangelism.
Once that stopped being an advantage and they had utilized all the community goodwill by being open source, they make this change.
