Getting ahead of the curve regarding potential future legislations/regulations around unsafe languages, which may introduce contract conditions, liabilities…etc (See 2:30-4:30 of this talk for an overview). If they listened to the calls describing this move as premature, and it arguably was, they could have gotten strapped for time later. An implementation in a good safe fast modern language that developers actually enjoy has other tangible benefits of course. But if people want the “corpo reason”, the above should provide an answer.

You could understand if you used a materialist analysis. Canonical sells products and support to corporations. The gpl is a problem for corporations because it requires that they contribute their changes back into the commons, creating additional overhead in many ways. Canonical is funding, prioritizing and providing support for a rewrite of a gpl project in a different language with a more permissive license. Put two and two together. Canonical is bankrolling and pushing something that materially benefits them.

You have a bunch of people telling you why they do it but just refuse to acknowledge that it’s for corpo reasons.
