For this second episode of the Payara Podcast,Rachel Stephens,Senior Analyst at RedMonk (the developer-focused industry analyst company) and Steve Millidge,Payara Founder and CEO, discussed the case of Hashicorp.

Hashicorp, the vendor of Vagrant, Terraform and other deployment-automation tools, made a controversial change from Free and open source (FOSS) status to a Business Source License, in August 2023. 

Steve and Rachel discuss this case and other similar ones, to investigate the real meaning and motivation behind such decisions to move away from open source, and what impact changes like this might have on the open source users, both commercial and non-commercial.
