Disclaimer: the following is my own opinion as an engineer at Pulumi.

Pulumi is true open source, with a relationship similar to git and the many SaaS services that layer on top of git to provide meaningful value.

To contrast with our competitor, Pulumi relies on open source languages and protocols. We could not, even if we wanted to, change the Python license. Nor could we change our protocols without breaking our users and our growing ecosystem.

That's the value of building on open protocols and standard languages.
