there's the amusing line of thought regarding the “source-available” proprietary licenses, which maintains they're targeted against the abuse of the free software by the large saas companies. and of course it's bullshit. large saas companies are big enough to take over maintenance of the latest non-encumbered version, throw funds and people at it, and even provide the result to the public (cf. elastic search and opensearch). or, if they feel like it, they may just buy out the whole company with its product instead of paying licence fees – if they really need it and there's no other way to get the required expertise. the people who actually get shafted by the license changes and embrace of the proprietary model are the other open source projects that depend on the now-closed software, and small-to-mid-sized companies.
