> AWS etc. already offer these services so the risk is low.

I'm not sure about that. AWS had a NoSQL database, but replicated mongodb.

Anyway, I think that the risk doesn't occur until and unless supertokens hits a home run. I mean, if you're big enough for a hypercloud provider to copy, that means you've been pretty darn successful in distribution of your product.

But the risk is there.

As for the relicensing, I have sympathy for both viewpoints. I posted this in a different comment, but this medium article does a good job of talking about both sides of the issue: https://joemorrison.medium.com/death-of-an-open-source-busin...
