> Matt Asay runs developer relations at MongoDB.

Explains the lack of factual basis. It is literally a PR campaign.

It's a PR campaign?! What?

MongoDB is mentioned in the footer, in greyed text. MongoDB benefits from Terraform vs OpenTofu tensions how?

Do you run or work for a DB company? Because your comment sounds like a PR campaign by that logic.

It is not really hard to put two and two together about what a source-available software company's developer relations person has to gain by publishing a hit piece on community forks that are created to oppose source-available licences.

That aside, it is literally in the title "developer relations." I am not sure what is outrageous in pointing that out.

Fair enough. I get what you're saying.

But is this about MongoDB trying to deter forks? Are there any live MongoDB fork? Hasn't the MongoDB hype train derailed a long time ago?
