Let me get this straight. They develop open source software, later relicense the code under proprietary terms, pull all the former code from the internet, and then start suing people for using the open-source code downloaded earlier. As proof of wrong-doing they simply show their relicensed code which is, surprise, identical to the open source code. I sure hope any judge would immediately see the dishonesty. Maybe they are hoping scare tactics will be sufficient. This is certainly an interesting strategy by HashiCorp. Sadly I'm sure a lot of companies are going to be following their example.
