I don't think this is a fair assessment of the cause of the issue with redis, or hashicorp, or elasticsearch etc;
This wasn't some nefarious third party taking all the community good will and contributions and creating a private fork to kill the original projects.
If you don't want some corporate asshole to turn your open source project into a get rich quick scheme, don't give control of your project to that asshole.
