At the time of posting, this submission links directly to the OpenTofu Github organization, which does not say anything about the name change.
Here are some links that are specifically about the name change:

- qwertox 3y agoFrom the last link: "The name OpenTofu was adopted out of concern for, as you might have already guessed, trademark litigation." Because Hashicorp might not like the "TF" (for Terraform).
- Uehreka 3y agoOut of curiosity, how does OpenJDK not get sued into fine pulp over this? Oracle owns the Java trademark and aren’t exactly known for being kind in matters of litigation.
- input_sh 3y agoOpenJDK is also trademarked by Oracle[0], they're not gonna sue themselves. [0] https://openjdk.org/legal/openjdk-trademark-notice.html https://openjdk.org/legal/openjdk-trademark-notice.html
- blackoil 3y agoYou may not want to bet on that. It is the Oracle.
- hashhar 3y agoOpenJDK is now the open-part of the JDK which multiple groups provide builds and customizations for. What I think you are talking about when you say OpenJDK is called Adoptium now (https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html). Earlier called Adopt OpenJDK. Similarly Eclipse folks named their project Temurin and so on.
- stolsvik 3y agoThose are the same: https://adoptium.net/ https://adoptium.net/ “Eclipse Temurin is the name of the OpenJDK distribution from Adoptium.”
