Speaking of nuclear options, need to get the providers to pledge/follow the fork, maybe via some kind of API incompatibility. Terraform is useless if the providers don't work with it and only the fork. Focus on disrupting the ecosystem.
- tedivm 3y agoHashicorp left the provider frameworks under the original licenses, probably because they don't want to scare provider developers off. So for now both Terraform and a potential fork can continue sharing the same providers without issue.
- dividedbyzero 3y agoAre they even able to unilaterally relicense third party providers?
- throwaway1101z 3y agoIndirectly, by changing the license for the SDK.
- bickfordb 3y agoThis is the interesting part of all of this. The meat of Terraform is in its provider ecosystem. Anyone can make a new frontend (or even fork the existing one?), get rid of all the warts, add the missing encryption features gated under enterprise and have a much better tool.
