Hold on... aren't there a bunch of incredily successful "open source" / "source available" companies? Databricks, Cockroach Labs, Hashicorp, MongoDB, Elasticsearch etc?

Yes this article is promoting the "open core" model those companies follow, as opposed to the "pure" open source model Red Hat follows.
Which is basically PD and Shareware for post-2000 folks.
And how many of them are now trying to switch to fauxpen source licenses like MongoDB's SSPL?
