@tedivm This is big. Large public sector agencies using TF can't magically come up with money for licensing this time of year.
@dr0037 @tedivm Is there a reason they can't just pin version?
@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.
@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."
@aurorapenguin @petrichor @dalias @dr0037 @tedivm hopefully there will be at least one viable fork at that time.
