I have always been more on the pragmatic side of the FOSS movement (open source versus the philosophical/moral stance of the FSF, but still have tremendous respect for the FSF). For pragmatic reasons I reject the Timescale License. It doesn't just prevent Amazon (that alone would be misguided enough, though) but also prevent anyone other than Timescale from hosting the software for me. That means even if Timescales current offerings lined up perfectly with my business, I would be locked into whatever decisions they make in the future which may not align. The chances for a successful community fork are greatly reduced under the restrictions of the Timescale license. It makes it impossible for the community to make contributions on equal footing to Timescale, thus anyone making contributions are just doing free work for a corporation, rather than contributing to a product the community benefits from just as much as the corporation.
