HashiCorp recently changed Terraform from an open source model to something that requires licensing, so folks got together, forked the code, and created OpenTF.

The OpenTF site itself provides a view on that point: https://opentf.org/#regular-user

And they’re right; while you might consider yourself compliant with today’s version of the license, they can change those terms whenever, and however they like in the future.

I weirdly do remember Hudson from my previous roles as a software developer, but like so many products forked that way it’s barely a footnote in history at this point.

So if there are many contributors to the code they are continuing to use, did they get agreement from all that they could close source? Or does the license not require that?
