I guess but AWS is the one being a good steward of actual open source software. It's hard to say they're the evil ones when it's because of them we still have an OSS ElasticSearch for anyone to use as they please.
No one forces you to make OSS, you can be closed source from the beginning and no one will fault you. But companies releasing OSS as a growth hack because it's seen as a donation to the software commons and then rug pulling deserve every fork coming to them. Debian and Fedora don't include JSMin (not that it's relevant anymore but still) because the license says you can't use it for evil making it not OSS.
That's what OSS means -- everyone, even the worst person you know, especially the worst person you know, can use the software for anything they want.
