Is the financial institution made up of separate legal entities which bill each other for services, and does one of those entities provide tech infra for the other legal entities?


Good point, but no. Also I think they pay Hashicorp for support.


The messiness of the real-world unfortunately doesn't play well with ambiguity in licences :)

It'll be a headache for every large company which now has to send the licence to their legal teams who have to ask these kind of questions (another interesting one is "can contractors touch our terraform setup?") - in fairness to Hashicorp they've tried to address some of these issues in their FAQ, but the FAQ isn't legally binding so legal teams have to go on what's actually written in the licence.
