There's a lot of weird assumptions in this thread that this is some sort of strike against Amazon/AWS. It's not. AWS's managed grafana is built in partnership with grafana labs, and this license change won't affect it.

From Grafana:

"AWS is a strategic partner, and given the commercial relationship AWS has with us for AMG, AWS and their AMG customers are not impacted by this change. We hope that other XaaS providers follow AWS’s lead in working with open source software companies in similarly sustainable ways."

You have a moral obligation to do what you can to minimize negative impact to others. You don't have to live somewhere that's "already expensive", but you should at least consider trying to live somewhere that won't suffer negative consequences by you living there.

I'm honestly appalled that a comment that unironically says "fuck you, I got mine" is so upvoted.

You have a responsibility to society (the same society that put you in the position you are in, able to move/work remotely and pay you these exorbitant sums) to not ruin your community. If you moving to a place would cause the community in that place to suffer, it is your responsibility to not move there.

The fact that SV/tech has forgotten any sense of personal responsibility and apparently thinks it is perfectly okay to trample on the lives of others is exactly why non-tech people have such disdain for FAANG workers.
