First, this is Dave & I's personally opinion, not the view of OpenTF.

This isn't an attack on Hashi's founders. We don't know them, we've just watched a ton of videos over the past few days trying to understand them.

This is three things:

1. an uncomfortable feeling for my co-founders & I, realizing that the even the most passionate founders' image will eventually fade from a for-profit company

2. that we, as a community, may be at a point that we have to seriously look at any open source tool we use at work that is not a part of a foundation

3. calling out some of hashi's bullshit about their commitment, their change has far reaching impacts on the broader open-source community.
