  Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.

  

These people have seriously contributed back to the Terraform community. Terraform doesn't have a test suite- Grunt made Terratest, as well as many other tools. These people have seriously contributed back to the ecosystem, in many ways beyond what Hashicorp has done.

Beyond that, I know some of these companies tried to be contributors to Terraform itself but were ghosted by Hashicorp.

At the same time there's only a handful of regular contributors to Terraform[1]. It would not be hard for these companies to provide more resources to Terraform than Hashicorp is.

I also saw that parallel with Chef. I think its the story of all VC funded software that attempts to be "Open Source". For them, Open Source means "You can read the source code, and potentially fix a bug", for us, it means community, transparency, and fixing bugs beyond those your paying customer has.

I looked at github /chef/chef and github /inspec/inspec and its the same as it was shortly after I left. The only changes are from the one person who carried over after the sale to Progress, and the contracting team out of India, with dozens are unanswered queries and pull requests from the community.

What really ruffles my feathers was when they had us define oss-practices (https://github.com/chef/chef-oss-practices), clearly nobody outside our small team read (or understood) those words and goals. It feels like it was work to make us look better in OSS in order to bolster the company sale.

We relicensed[1] a project which had 10 contributors, and we got every single one of them to do an Acked-by (by email) which took some weeks. That was the advice from our lawyers. Can't imagine the impossible hassle of doing the same for something like Linux.

  Discontinued Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. This is an open-source fork of Hashicorp's Terraform that keeps the MPL license, following Hashicorp's annoutcing change of license to BSL. The fork is created and maintained by Digger.dev, an open-source CI runner for IaC.

  

Y'all had previously forked Terraform in response; what happened to that repo? https://github.com/diggerhq/open-terraform
