All this implies is that Hashicorp is no longer an open source company. Many of Hashicorp's actions like this one run completely against the nature of open source software. Another example is `Hashicorp Vault Secrets` - which they just launched as a closed-source SaaS only tool.

I'm obviously very biased, but take a look at Infisical as an open source alternative to Vault: https://github.com/Infisical/infisical (we run under MIT + some enterprise features).
