While I’m sure you are earnest, you should probably stop right now. Forking a repo is not sufficient. You need to remove trademark infringement and anything which does not fall under the MPLv2 license - much like the (former) CentOS process for rebuilding RHEL.
Should you ever distribute binaries, you also need to do a better job than HashiCorp of obeying the license terms of your dependencies around attribution.
Finally, as someone who has actually done the job of core maintenance of Terraform, I suspect you are also vastly underestimating the amount of work involved. I just set a reminder to look at this fork in 3 months, I’d put money on it being dead.

- jen20 3y agoWell, they appear NOT to know these things, since the name of the repo infringes a trademark, and infringing use of the logo is right in the middle of the README. “We’ll get to fixing that later” is not a valid response - this is clearly a minimal-effort attempt at a mindshare land grab from a competitor. Clicking the fork button is not “work” to be clear.
