Amazon Web Services explains why it's increasing its investment in open source, even as it courts controversy with a new software project

to put more restrictive licenses on their open source code. Those companies have said the moves come as a way to prevent major cloud providers, including Amazon, from reselling their software at a profit.

"From our perspective, open source should be open source, and proprietary software should be proprietary," Gutmans said onstage."There's a promise to the end customer that they can use open source however they want. If you do open source, you do open source. If you do proprietary, you do proprietary. There's nothing wrong with proprietary software.

"Our goal is to truly build a meritocracy here where it's not just Amazon but also others who are contributing to this project," Gutmans said.
