Okay, so I swiped the headline from the video, but it’s pretty much a given.

Further to my previous blog entry about Hashicorp’s decision to change Terraform’s license, I mentioned how the OpenTF Initiative put a choice to Hashicorp: change the license back or we will fork Terraform.

Unsurprisingly, Hashicorp didn’t comply, so now Terraform has (or will be) forked as OpenTF at https://github.com/opentffoundation

This story has been covered in several places including The Register and several videos on YouTube including a nice short summary by Fireship

If the fork goes ahead, I’m curious as to whether Hashicorp sees it as a competition and goes after the foundation, but if it does, what little reputation Hashicorp has left in the OSS community will be nigh on destroyed.

Meanwhile, I’m going to continue playing with Pulumi in case the OpenTF doesn’t work, gets blocked or if we need another alternative.
