All the more reason for companies to choose software that a governance body owns, such as Apache and CNCF.

A trajectory question: how much has Hashi been steering Terraform? Given that companies, especially those who offer Terraform as a product, have been using Terraform for so many years, they should have enough expertise to develop on the current version of Terraform without upgrading to the ones with BSL. Of course, sadly Terraform as a single product would diverge into many variants.




A governance body isn't the right solution. The right solution is what the Linux kernel did: copyleft with no CLA and tons of external contributors.


I'd assume that many authors would not start with copyleft? So, as users of the OSS, we need to choose the ones that have a high chance of staying open.
