The name OpenTofu may sound silly, but the Linux Foundation is quite serious about this Terraform fork. The project team is also looking into the possibility of becoming a CNCF Sandbox project
There are a number of companies that would be affected by the license change, and they are the largest driving force behind the fork. Hashicorp’s managed option just really sucks. There might be fragmentation, but I expect most people to switch to the project with more engineers, Linux foundation backing, and an actually open source license.
Why tho? I read the justification and the new license. Seems pretty okay to me. This is just going to fragment the community. So worse for everyone
