In the hybrid-cloud world, we all knew that HashiCorp, makers of the popular infrastructure as code (IaC) tool Terraform, was looking to be acquired.
We also knew that switching Terraform’s open source Mozilla license for the Business Source License (BSL 1.1) had left plenty of unhappy Terraform developers and partners in its wake. Those open source users created a Terraform fork called OpenTofu. OpenTofu took off quickly, causing lawyers to get involved.
