TLDR; if we don’t keep TF open source in 5 years everything will become Terraform Cloud - horrible, painful to work with Enterprise-grade BS. I don’t think forking is bad for terraform ecosystems. It might be bad for HashiCorp, but for community in general it can become that source of competition that will make terraform even better. Let’s be honest, most of the modules are made by community, there are thousands of modules out there. HashiCorp recently spent all their love on enterprise related products (like TF Cloud) and almost no love on terraform itself. Our team tried TF Cloud (because it’s HashiCorp, it should be a great product, huh?) and the experience was horrible. If we let HashiCorp do that licensing trick they as a company won’t have any incentives to improve terraform.
