Terraform, a widely-used infrastructure-as-code tool, has shifted from an open-source model under the MPL v2 license to a non-open source Business Source License (BSL) v1.1. This change, announced by HashiCorp, the tool's developer, is driven by strategic business considerations and may impact the broader open-source ecosystem. The transition raises concerns among developers, DevOps professionals, and business leaders about the future accessibility of Terraform's features and potential restrictions on its usage in specific environments. In response to this change, a community-driven project called OpenTofu aims to create a fork of Terraform and maintain it as an open-source tool. The industry is reacting with varying perspectives, including concerns from companies like env0 and DuploCloud, and the shift presents challenges and opportunities for the software industry, including Doppler, which will continue to support open-source initiatives and provide flexible solutions that align with Linux Foundation's standards.
