      Similar to what happened before with, eg, Linux, big vendors will hire those maintainers. Good code isn't going away. It's simply going to be written by communities comprised of self-interested actors rather than one self-interested vendor. There's nothing healthy abt the latter

      JM: I literally cannot think of a single one. I can think of a few that they hired who ceased being maintainers after they went to work for AWS.

      This has more to do with AWS being a low-margin business, than with any kind of bad faith, but the result is the same: they suck money out of the ecosystem without contributing code.

      Very much so, but reality of Amazon's contributions so far have never come even close to the promises, and the promises fall far short of being a sustainable community participant. Especially given how their existence makes other business models for employing PG devs less viable.

      So...not open source, then? :-) What you’re describing is called “proprietary software.” It’s 100% fine. But let’s not conflate it with open source. Vendors who want the benefits of open distribution without the $$ implications live in la la land

      I don't think it's a the great approach, but I do think that it's possible to tilt the situation a bit away from the big cloud providers on a license basis (say AGPL, except not badly drafted). While staying open source. IMO the downsides are larger than the upsides, but ...

      (note that I don't think any such license would end up actually preventing cloud providers from hosting such software, just possibly making it economically less interesting)
