I'm sure it's hard to turn FOSS into money. I sympathize. But poisoning the well too discourage competitors will drive everybody away.
But could they really? Who actually developed the AWS provider?

This has been spelled out directly by Terraform employees in their github issues, and it's visible by inference in the way that they disengage from certain issues.
