This was inevitable after Hashicorp's move.
After thinking about it for a few days, I think Hashicorp's move is actually net great for everyone. The products that matter will be forked and maintained in the open. Hashicorp would choose wisely to merge mature forks back into their product, if they can, and now you have a pretty standard model of up selling enterprise features on an open product that's developed in the actual open. It frees Hashicorp up to focus on the enterprise, which they have already been doing, but they've been neglecting their OSS, like Terraform (what the actual fuck is going on with the development of Terraform over the last two years?)
This is great. I'm really looking forward to using freed forks that pop up in the months ahead.
This is Hashicorp's sink or swim moment.
If you asked me when they announced the license change, I'd say bet the horse on Pulumi and move on. But now I actually think this could really rejuvenate the TF ecosystem.
