Hashicorp Adopts BSL License

Hashicorp switches from open source MPL(Mozilla Public License) to BSL(Business Source License). The new license does not allow you to use Hashicorp products if you meet both of the following conditions:


<span style="color:#323232;">- You are building a product that is competitive with HashiCorp.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">- You embed or host Terraform in your product.
</span>

What exactly those conditions mean is open for interpretation and companies like Gruntwork are strongly opposed to this change(See relevant article here)

Translation: hashicorp is no longer libre

housepanther,

That just read like a whole bunch of corporate whining. Looks like I won’t be using anything HashiCorp related. Don’t press on my back and tell me it’s raining. This BSL license is not free open source. Fuck off with that shit.

Already a push to create a foundation based owner of a terraform fork.

housepanther,

Glad to hear it!
