Yeah, Broadcom is basically just gutting VMWare's "cash cow" status because they think they will make more in the long run (they wont). However, this WILL cause people to move to stuff like proxmox which will vastly increase their funding and as such give them a larger warchest to develop and improve.

>Broadcom has accused Allstate Insurance of dodging a software license audit that the insurer claims only happened after it decided to stop using VMware and CA software.
Those two Broadcom business units – CA and VMware – have brought copyright infringement lawsuits against Allstate.
The CA suit, filed in May 2025, alleges that the insurer breached contracts after the sale of its Employer Voluntary Benefits business to an outfit called StanCorp. The VMware suit, filed in December 2025, alleges that Allstate didn’t comply with contract terms that required it to participate in license audits.
