It's so funny to me that the open-source movement is now struggeling with the exact thing that Richard Stallman opposed them for. Which is that "source code availability" (open source) does NOT mean libre software that you have the control over (instead the other way around). Edit: an also nice to see that for big projects at least the community recovers.

[@traveller23e]

Stallman (along with the FSF) has a way of making himself come across as dislikeable and borderline extremist (the list of linux distros the FSF recommends springs to mind), but in the end he's usually right. I do wish they'd get over the whole Linux naming thing though.

I think it makes sense to not be completely open when there is potential for Amazontto just take your hard work and make all the money off of it. I've thought clearly something has to change within open source and I think we're just starting to see the beginning of the massive changes coming to keep massive corps from just taking your work for granted. I get it, and I think its a very complex issue with no super obvious answer.

[@Netz0]

If it was not Amazon, it would be Google, or Apple...open source is open, or it's not open source at all. If you start to put this sort of restrictions in place, tomorrow you will have more of them slipping in, and that is just proprietary software. Some people are soft on BSL because they are only designed against companies like Amazon and since it does not affect them they are fine, but this is precisely how it starts. It is a commercial restriction in place. If it was not Amazon, they would just create another restriction because the goal is the same, they want to be the only ones making money from the software, which is absolutely and 100% fine, but then just don't call it open source and use a regular commercial license with all the restrictions you want. Open source does not care about how the code is being used. They want it both ways, they want the marketing and benefits of open source while being commercial. This is why they call it the bullshit license.

[@TBasianeyes]

"take your hard work"... right... In the case of Terraform, Hashicorp was only doing the bare minimum for years, they were more of a steering commitee and you can see that by looking at the commit history of the repo. The majority of the work was done by the community and Terraform core isn't even the most important part, it's all the modules which make it useful and those were mostly contributed by the community. Hashicorp wasn't even the first to come up with Terraform Cloud and their product today still is vastly inferior to products which other companies built on top of Terraform because there was a need for it.

[@apple_m2_delight]

​@@Netz0 "waaah waaah, I want people to do programming for free" that's how you sound like when you said all of this nonsense. if you can't get over the fact that one can enjoy the benefits of open source and proprietary then a wake up call is necessary for people like you.

Blame the big cloud providers for taking away all their business

[@CodecrafterArtemis]

Yeah. I think it's pretty sad that people go to bash the developers over cloud providers who basically undermine the ability of the developers to develop anything.

[@gregoryreimer869]

That does tend to be the downside of open sourcing a project. There would have been very little issue if the license had been that way from the beginning, it's the shift that bugs people. Project gets adopted by other companies, name becomes more common place, but they can't capitalize on it because it was built using other companies names in addition to their own. Now they are trying to claw that back. It's their code and their choice, but I get why people would be upset. It's a lot like building a business based on selling on ebay and getting upset that the fees make it unprofitable. Taking the quicker route to getting your name out there tends to have a cost. It might be the right choice for you, it might not but you are far more at the whim of other people when you do that.

[@CamiloSantana]

​@@gregoryreimer869I don't they would have gone as far as they did with terraform if it wasn't open sourced. I know I wouldn't have trusted it. I built everything off terraform and terragrunt

I don't think that major cloud providers care about terraform much, I'm pretty sure that Amazon would prefer if you used CloudFormation as it locks you in their ecosystem much harder then using the aws terraform provider... same with other major cloud providers. I think this is more about platforms that compete with terraform cloud like spacelift as those literaly just take terraform and sell it as a service.

[@arakwar]

@AWS push a lot on their CDK toolkit. It’s easier to use than cloudformation, but is binding you to AWS. Although, since each major c’oud provider have their own tool, moving from one to another isn’t that hard.

I think Open Source needs a bit of a change legally. We need a way to make sure other people can’t paywall your code and make money off it

[@Dethred1]

No that's the whole point, others do the work, you refine it and make all the money. That's why idiots make videos like this when they lose the ability to leach off your work.

[@OctagonalSquare]

@@Dethred1 that’s not the whole point of open source. Quit being an idiot. There’s too much free information out there to be this dumb

[@maarten1012TTT]

Already we have a few companies that are requiring us to switch to the fork

[@TheReconditeAlchemist]

Add TipTap to that list of rug pulling Kansas City License Shuffle - but German style so they did it to the devs who were contributing money “support”. If I want to use the features I funded to build - that will cost $999 per month instead of $20 now. Literally.

[@Dethred1]

Ah yes, the 10 year rug pull to reach profitability by removing leaches. Classic, gets them every time.

[@TheReconditeAlchemist]

@@Dethred1 by removing leaches? Hm I sure hope you’re not part of the business enterprise that is TipTap are you.. you sound like one. Must check into that… In the meantime, as to your condescending, and generally inaccurate comment - everything in life is not boolean logic. And while I don’t presume to speak for Jeff, from my personal experience, you don’t have to step on the backs of developer patrons (aka leaches) in order to be profitable. Additionally, as for leaches, I know you were trying really hard to prove a point by conjuring up the most degrading terminology your brain could think up but you you fell short on that account too. Leaches are a symbiotic creature, and while they do drink blood of a host, they also provide many benefits. Probably why they have been used in medicine for all of recorded history and still are used today around the world. So to recap your comment is myopic, factually inaccurate, and generally adds nothing of value to the conversation because of this. With the noteable exception of clearly proving you’re about as thoughtful, intelligent, and well educated as the Koala Bears that run Tiptap. (*see what I did there, I used an animal like you did but in my case it makes sense, feel free to google to try and understand why…) Anyway, take a couple breaths and try your insult again. But really think it through this time - I believe that you could do better… or maybe I’m wrong, what do I know, I invested in TipTap 😑

[@TheReconditeAlchemist]

@@Dethred1 sorry that was not fair… you’re never going to figure it out… I said Kola Bears because they are ostensible cute and your like wow that’s the coolest bear ever! That is until you realises they are not smart creatures, slow to the point of painful, can only do one thing at all, and carry STDs are a species. Again sorry for assuming you could use google to divine that on your own…

[@azulamazigh2789]

now we need video about Wing.

[@monstajoedev]

Nothing like the ultimate race of corporate greed smh

[@toxaq]

Greed? They’re not even profitable and you expect to use their product for free?

[@monstajoedev]

@@toxaq no but I expect them to give a decent free tier

[@toxaq]

@@monstajoedev it's open source. You can do what you want with it for free.

[@monstajoedev]

Not anymore apparently

[@toxaq]

@@monstajoedev Everything to date is still covered by that license. Just future improvements aren't. Hence the OpenTF fork.

[@Player1GamingChannel]

It went from 4.6k stars to 15k stars in 7 hours. Rip your stocks.

[@marceelino]

ah yes, stars that have no value. Rip.

who else hasn't ever heard terraform?

Jump ship if your company doesn't use iac man

[@aleksanderhr.fredro8407]

@@mchawesren iac can also be done wrong man. Some people think ansible is a programming language and stuff

[@bad-at-art-games]

you made me laugh so hard at the github plug :D love your videos, you da best mr. Fireship

[@ethanmcrae]

Solid ending 👌 your videos are never bland 🔥

[@rato_gordo]

Nice video, continue thus series for sure. Yeah BSD. Went for OpenBSD in test machine, otb wi-fi and everything wuite surprised.

[@AshishDha]

genius! loved the ending especially :)) thanks!

[@krellin]

its vert simple, fork it and keep the open source version going, and if its really good/useful project it will grow faster than any one corporation on its own developing it...

[@eduardog3000]

The OSI's definition of open source is the real problem. Preventing large corporations from profiting off of (and potentially doing bad things with) your work for absolutely free is cool and good actually. But also isn't that why we have the term FOSS? They just switched from a "free and open source" license to an "open source" license.

[@ParaPsychic]

can you do a video on Salesforce? I've been looking for "what" videos and nobody has a good answer. Your format explains things better

[@indian_otaku2388]

Well that was the best ad for starring a github repository ive ever seen.

[@ravitejasikhakolli]

It's not easy to change legacy terraform code and replace with Ansible. Though we can use it for now till OpenTF available

[@marlopainter8246]

I always thought I was a degenerate, but I never had time for those online quizzes. This `one question` test was what I needed. Thanks for verifying what I already thought was true. I'm a degenerate.
