Oh, come on. Engineers these days are not stupid. While I agree that their boss could plainly lie to them that he bought a commercial license, it was more like, "What will we use for the underlying storage?" "Maybe MiniIO, they're S3-compatible and efficient." "Fine. Can we use their code, though?" "Sure, it's open source, and we are a *aaS business, so no problem." I saw this kind of thinking before.
