We're really just getting started, says OpenTofu community member

HashiCorp might be less than impressed with the rise of the Terraform fork, OpenTofu, but where Hashi sees challenges, the maintainers of the open source project see opportunities., thus taking its popular Terraform infrastructure-as-code tool from open source to source available. The source remains freely available, and you can do what you like with it, so long as that doesn't compete with HashiCorp.

"There were a lot of capabilities that people had been trying to get into Terraform that were never accepted into Terraform because they competed with some functionality in terms of cloud," Stadil explains. There were other factors contributing to OpenTofu's swift appearance following the license change, Stadil tells us.

Stadil does not describe the CNCF as a slow-moving organization – indeed, the breakneck speed at which the foundation has pivoted to AI is undeniable – but he says there had been a desire for HashiCorp to donate Terraform to the foundation for a long time."HashiCorp," he says,"didn't find that to be in their interest."
