Terraform has become a de facto standard as a cloud-provider-agnostic infrastructure-as-code tool in recent years.
Unfortunately, the license change for HashiCorp products in August 2023 has caused some turmoil within the open source community. Terraform can no longer be considered truly open source. Of particular concern are the usage limitations that prohibit "competitive offerings" to HashiCorp's products. The vagueness of this definition, coupled with the fact that HashiCorp can change their interpretation of what constitutes a "competitive offer" at any time, poses a potential liability for agencies and their customers.
As a result, we are currently assessing OpenTofu as a drop-in replacement for Terraform. OpenTofu is an open source fork under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation, created from the last commit before Terraform's license change.
