I used to listen to NPR regularly. I enjoyed many of the programs. But that all changed when the "news" reporting became so heavily biased that I couldn't distinguish NPR from main stream media. In fact, I've become so irritated by the bias that I now openly call for defunding NPR and I've removed them from all my radio presets. I didn't leave NPR, they left me....
From the Hashicorp post: "Vendors who provide competitive services built on our community products will no longer be able to incorporate future releases, bug fixes, or security patches contributed to our products."
I don't think it actually hit max Q. I know the announcers announced it, but they were following a script. It should have been at max Q at the time, but with the loss of 3-6 engines it would not have been going as fast as scheduled.
I share your fear. We used to be able to agree to disagree after a discussion. Now, you must violently agree without discussion or accept cancellation.
I wonder how many companies will choose to kill off Grafana use as a result of this change. Two companies I've worked for have simply banned the use of anything having a GPL type license.
Out of curiosity, what kind of markets are those two companies in and how much competition exist.
Using open source libraries is, among other things, a cost saving measure. It allows a company to focus their expertise on what they are good at, without having to spend time and resources on reinventing wheels. Banning tools that enable a company to produce products faster, cheaper and (sometimes) more stable and secure can have a major impact when the competition does not limit themselves in the same way. However if the market is dominated by a monopoly or is very slow, then increased costs and delays might not have much of an impact.
As an example of such company, Google's revenue would not be impacted by a single percent if they suddenly needed to hire 200 more programmers for android. Delay next version with 2 months and the impact for android market share would unlikely be statistically verifiable.
