However, major OSS security vulnerabilities like Log4j, Heartbleed, Shellshock and others have raised concerns about the security and sustainability of similar projects. At the same time, major open source-based companies have changed their OSS licenses, like MongoDB, Elastic (formerly ElasticSearch), Confluent, Redis Labs and most recently, HashiCorp.
