No, it's new, although was completed a couple of days before their announcement and updated to reference it. My audience is primarily community managers, DevRel, and community-minded rev teams and HashiCorp have done an exemplary job at community-led until the licensing change. There's a lot such folks can learn from before the licensing change, I didn't want to wipe that away. Also, I didn't see it as my place to provide too much commentary on it specifically, since the impact isn't yet fully understood.

Have they? Obviously, part of this should be taking care of yourself, and HashiCorp wasn't exactly profitable. It could be argued they didn't monetize the right things, and that led to a bad desperation move.
If you read article it outlines why I think so. Profitability is a larger issue than their community programs. Although, the process of converting community into customers is still slow for them, which I think is a contributing factor for sure.
