And Valkey with backing from AWS, GCP, and Oracle don't make any money at all ... wait aren't those trillion dollar monopolies?

BTW are you an employee of Redis? You seem to have created this account just to reply to me.
They're using the deceptive good feels to stop you from questioning their fat margins.
Why isn't the entire stack of AWS infra open source, again?
Open source has been twisted against us. The big players know where the money and value and power accumulates.
This line of argument is untethered from reality.
The Linux Foundation actually is the parent of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (https://www.cncf.io/about/join/), which actually is infrastructure for cloud services: containers, envoy, etcd, helm, istio, Kubernetes, prometheus, etc.
You had a business that was acquired by Amazon. I don't know if you're giving this a fair assessment.
When the copyright holders of large open source infrastructure projects want revenue from their hard work, Amazon forks them or provides funding to their direct competitors.
Amazon can strategically launch free and open source competition to commercialized open source products as a means of keeping more of the cloud spend budget for themselves.
The hyperscalers want to commoditize anything that impinges upon their margins. The software should be free, it should run on their clouds, and it should lead to increased cloud spending. Other companies shouldn't dip their hands into the pot.
Moreover, hyperscalers get to hoover up "managed" versions of open source software and collect even thicker margins. Redis, Elasticsearch, etc. fly in the face of this strategy, which is why they attack it so relentlessly.
The Linux Foundation and CNCF serve its industry contributors. The microservice ecosystem is booming business for AWS, Azure, and GCP.
I don't see how this is "untethered from reality". This is cutthroat business, and it's how the trillion dollar companies throw their weight around.
If you build open source infrastructure products and don't have an anti-cloud provision, you'll get picked clean by the hyperscalers.
Any thoughts on CSPs making money from open source projects while the open source developers (e.g., Redis, Mongo, Hashi) suffer)?
