Which is more than likely Vault + new carpets and paint.

No, it's astronomically unlikely to be Vault at all.

It's far more likely to be Vault as a base, actually. The MPL would allow someone like Amazon to use Vault's source as a base, and so long as the core source wasn't modified Amazon would be under no obligation to make their modifications public.

The MPL is a lot more "business" friendly than the GPL.

The very fact that HashiCorp is changing their license and restricting use clearly indicates they see this threat as reality. Amazon/Microsoft/Google/Whoever using HashiCorp's work/effort but keeping all the money to themselves.

I don't know what you've heard but none of the cloud providers use HashiCorp Vault as the foundation for their secrets manager.

Yes, they could, but no major cloud provider does. They're all bespoke. Read their white papers and it'll make more sense.
