| What a terrible way to communicate about your company strategy,

| 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).

| He says, "if you want to be a part of JP Morgan's cloud program
| then you need to write a terraform provider."
