I wonder how this affects Pulumi
- yellowapple 3y agoIt makes it a lot more attractive, as long as they don't hop on the same BUSL bandwagon.

- rnmkr 3y agoIt's just a matter of time. They're Apache 2.0 for now. But they can pull out at any moment just like Hashicorp, Grafana, Mongo any many others..
- yellowapple 3y agoIndeed they can. Until they do so, however, I'm inclined to give it a second look.
- danw1979 3y agoYour line of thinking was that Pulumi uses terraform providers under the hood, right ? It’s a good question. I suspect several forks might be happening as we speak.
- wlonkly 3y agoI believe providers are still OSS-licensed.
- danw1979 3y agoCorrect, according to the Hashicorp license change FAQ - https://www.hashicorp.com/license-faq#How-does-this-impact-the-licensing-of-Terraform-providers https://www.hashicorp.com/license-faq#How-does-this-impact-t... And I checked the contribution guide for the aws provider, no mention of a CLA there. I wonder if Hashicorp would be able to pull the providers under the same BSL in future ?
- wlonkly 3y agoMy understanding is that a _lot_ of the AWS provider was written by AWS developers on the clock. I think that pattern holds true for a lot of "official" providers. For that reason I don't expect to see BSL for providers.
