The article title is actually "Lack of leadership in open source results in source-available licenses", OP was editorializing. In fact, your sentiment is explicitly stated in the article:

> Amazon’s behavior toward open source is self-interested and rational. Amazon is playing by the rules of what software licenses allow.

The submitted title was "Amazon has exhibited offensive and aggressive behaviors toward open source", which was taken from the body of the article. That's not necessarily editorializing, if the language is representative. But we've changed it back to the original article title now.
The article talks about people switching to source-available licenses as if it were a bad thing. I'm unconvinced. If you have commercial ambitions and are uncomfortable with Amazon using your software, maybe open source is the wrong choice for you?
