That's not Amazon using open source code for profit. They make money from hosting. They don't make money from the code.

The problem is releasing stuff as open source and expecting to profit off it while preventing others from doing the same. You fundamentally can't. Why bother with open source with an attitude like that?



They don’t. That’s why they came up with a new license that still allows self hosting and viewing the source but doesn’t allow cloud providers to capture their income.
