That feels very icky to delete that at this very point in time. It’s PR, it’s spin, very corporate, very untrustworthy. They could have left it up and responded to it, but deleting is manipulation in this case.
Agreed, although there's no good way for them to leave that up.
No matter what addendum they add, or how they mark it as archival, it reveals that HashiCorp was not actually committed to open-source like they claimed to be. Their word was 'committed', but in actuality open-source was just a feature of the license they happened to be using at the time. So that page will always invite questions about what else they say they're 'committed to'.
Leaving it up but changing the title would seem underhanded in the same way. Leaving it up and changing nothing would be confusing and look like an obvious oversight.
