As of one hour ago Terraform is no longer open source
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/commit/b145fbcaadf0fa7d0e7040eac641d9aef2a26433
I have to say this is just horribly disappointing. #Hashicorp keeps becoming more and more hostile towards the people it wants as customers.
Andre@tedivm Is it, though? I haven't dissected the new license, but it seems that the main change is the usual fight against the "you write the code, we'll make the money" deal.
I'm not *happy* about these changes, but I can see why they keep happening.
Johnny@PCOWandre @tedivm the BUSL is not open source:

Edit: Sorry, it looked like your "is it though?" was referring to "open source" rather than "disappointing" on my end!
Chris [list of emoji]Of cource, *this* copy of the repo still is.
The change isn't retroactive, so if you want an MPL-licensed source tree, there you go.

Phil@tedivm let the #enshitification begin
@Fil3 I was hoping Terraform would escape it.

@jaythvv Right? I absolutely did not see this coming.
renata@tedivm This is such sad news.
Felipe, o motoboy de treta
Matt Sicker@tedivm what a shit show of a company. Let’s see them go the way of Lightbend. Light who? Exactly
Ricky Smith@tedivm Spiritually, that sucks. Realistically, meh.
Alexandre Dulaunoy@tedivm One more CLA and Copyright assignment trap...
Matt Palmer@tedivm @tychotithonus ... aaaaaaand we have another case study for why CLAs are terrible. Meanwhile, gotta admire the chutzpah of a company who says the quiet part out loud and calls it the BS license.
☀️LightOfNight🌙@tedivm This is big. Large public sector agencies using TF can't magically come up with money for licensing this time of year.

@dalias @dr0037 @tedivm large public sector orgs can't just stop keeping up to date with security fixes: they have responsibilities to those they serve, are attractive targets for bad actors, and are under much greater scrutiny for decision making than the private sector. If there's no open source fork in short order to keep those security updates coming, this will deal a huge blow to trust in open source.
@dalias @dr0037 @tedivm Although I don't think this change will be a problem for the large majority of the public sector since the only usage it immediately restricts is provision of services that directly compete with Hashicorp.
It's not a good change for FLOSS movement, but I'm not sure this issue is a major one.
Aurora Penguin@petrichor @dalias @dr0037 @tedivm "HashiCorp will continue to backport critical security patches, as available, to existing versions under the MPL 2.0 license until December 31, 2023. Any patches after that date will be provided under the new license."
flere-imsaho 🇺🇦@aurorapenguin @petrichor @dalias @dr0037 @tedivm hopefully there will be at least one viable fork at that time.

Chuck@tedivm Doesn’t Pulumi rely on Terraform in the backend? If so, then they’re in trouble
makahiAs a not-software metaphor: it's like the apartment complex now charging for elevator access. Sure, the stairs are still free. But you've suddenly lost the ability to access the top floors (in the clouds as it were) unless you use a lot more human effort or pony up the cash
Dieu@tedivm vault, too. Probably the whole bunch?
hmcnHashicorp product management: “our open-source product is better than our enterprise product, oh no, what do we do?!”
Hashicorp legal: “hold my beer”
Paul de Ferney@tedivm surely they can't change any contributions from MPL to any other incompatible license?
@makegeneve They can because they require contributors to sign Contributor License Agreements which signs over the individual developers copyright to Hashicorp.
Most developers are okay with that because they assume companies will switch from one open source license to another (say MPL came out with an upgrade). Hashicorp took advantage of that good will to steal and relicense the work. While legal, it's certainly not ethical.
tessarakt@makegeneve @tedivm if they don't receive good and valuable consideration, it's not a contract
