This seems like it could be useful info if it takes off
Do you have any suggestions for the list?
I suggest adding John Deer. Their current business model relies on violating GPL.

Done
That garage door company that removed API access, breaking it for about 20000 Home Assistant users
Also they stopped working on their integration for Alexa/Homekit/Google Home, forcing all their users in general into their ad filled app.

I've added Chamberlain Group

Biggest one of all imo - Red hat/IBM
Done
Obviously that was a controversial decision, but Red Hat probably contributes to Open Source more than any other company. To call Red Hat "OSS Hostile" is probably a little too much.
I think you're right. I've changed it to IBM instead of Red Hat themselves because they were the cause of the policy changes.
