I understand the vision behind trying to monetize these images for enterprise use, and can get down with the idea of maintaining both a “less secure but free” and “more secure but paid” model. But it appears that Broadcom’s intent is to over time force everything on to their enterprise offerings, which seems like a short sighted thing to do.
Over time it will limit adoption and ultimately just make everyone go back to the native open source offering, cutting bitnami/Broadcom out of the loop.
Broadcom really took the open source community backwards with this move IMO.
