We were going to link to the video where HashiCorp CEO Dave McJannet’s used the word “malicious” in regards to their strategy and actions towards the open source community, but it has been taken down. This was the link to the video with a timestamp jumping to the part in question - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59rEiAyYEVk&t=920s

This tweet/post from Bryan Cantrill brought this to the community’s attention.
