Fair enough. I'm sure Amazon has a legal team that's examined this far deeper than I have. If that's the case, it furthers my belief that GPL-like licenses aren't really providing what many are after.

Yeah, what many are after is proprietary licenses, not open source ones. Any license that prevents the competition Hashicorp and others don't like just isn't an open source (as originally defined) license. As Drew Devault wrote, open source means surrendering your monopoly over commercial exploitation.
