       | What a terrible way to communicate about your company strategy,
       | regardless of the audience.

       | well, the title is really out of context, afaict (not a native
       | speaker). I think he means they built a community by playing the
       | big cloud platforms against each other (e.g. tell microsoft that
       | they should advertise terraform so their users can more easily
       | switch to azure, tell the same to amazon, google, oracle, etc).
       | Sure, he _says_ malicious, and it seems to be a bit forced, but
       | for me the HN title really oversells it.
       | 
       | The other aspect is that this is 4 months old and not really
       | relevant for the current debate regarding the license changes
       | (which it seemed to aim at, when first reading the title).

         | not the playing of cloud providers off one another, it was the
         | virality play.
         | 
         | He says, "if you want to be a part of JP Morgan's cloud program
         | then you need to write a terraform provider."
