Hashicorp has no integrity. That’s a bug…
Open Source and HashiCorp
When Mitchell and Armon created their first automation tool projects, they had no idea they would eventually build a company around their ideas. They learned the theory of computer science through university, but the practice of building software and communities through open source software, so making their projects open source was a natural choice. Over time, however, they found a powerful range of additional benefits. In fact, as they built HashiCorp, open source began impacting huge swaths of enterprise computing, and the first few large, profitable open source companies began to emerge. Over the past few years, major innovation in the industry has shifted to open source becoming the dominant way forward for infrastructure providers. We remain committed that the core of our technology will always remain open source.
