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

    That misses the point, imo. Much of Hashi’s ecosystem was created by people who contributed to the product believing it was community owned, as that’s what the license said.

    Oracle tried to do similar when they closed the source for Hudson. Hudson was forked, creating Jenkins, and I would be surprised if folks even remember Hudson today.
