#4By now, this kind of open source rug pull is becoming routine. I'm really not sure how I feel about it. I'm thankful for all the free stuff, and I can't fault anyone for trying to make a buck or two.

Especially egregious when your competitors take your work and build a closed sourced business around it.

I believe it's the rights assignment that should raise the "a rug pull is inevitable" alarm, not the corporate part
There are plenty of corporate projects that don't require rights assignment to submit changes, just a DCO or even just $(git commit -s)

#9Ridiculous as ScyllaDB is just a C++ implementation of a real open source project, Cassandra.

Not really. The internals are completely different.
