When you open source what you’re building as a for-profit company, you’re declaring that you’re willing to compete in a commoditized environment. Meaning that you’re confident your products/services can win on brand, operations, team, cost, UX, etc. It means you believe ideas are a dime-a-dozen and action/implementation is what matters.

It’s a fucking badass declaration. And a one way trip in my opinion. Something your company should DIE by if that’s the way the dice go.

That being said, I think you should still use the MPL to ATTEMPT to enforce keeping it open source and protect the community at large. Change my mind.
