The only appropriate response here is for a corporate owner (Hashicorp preferably) to fork the repo just before the license change and to assert that their version is the default, and drive future development there.

The original author is entitled to their opinion and can restrict their own development to a repo with license conditions they define, but it is not reasonable to expect companies to accept non-standard and politically charged license terms. Getting shit done is hard enough and this change will not move the needle on Ukraine/Russia sentiment one iota.

You are asking a corporation to clone "a community-driven project" and maintain it. Ok. There are 2.7K of forks of just this module already if you want to use them.
