Taking this part of the description at face value anyway, this sounds like the opposite of the cloud.
That being said, I still agree with the statement
I don't think Slack has a self hosted version, and does not offer IP allow listing. There's nothing preventing someone to go to https://disney.slack.com/. I think when they say "internal" they mean for internal employees, and not like a thing for fans.
I think when Disney demands an internally-hosted version of your product, then the sales team tells engineering that they'll provide one, and mark the price up accordingly. That kind of thing doesn't appear on the external listing for everyone else.
Your logic isn't making sense.
The code would end up somewhere for others to use...? What?
One-off products or beta offerings are often kept private, sometimes indefinitely.
In this case, Disney is using Slack Cloud-hosted for internal communication, but I can definitely understand people interpreting it differently.
Providing Disney with an internally hostable version of Slack doesn't require giving them the code. They can just ship them compiled binaries
