Our Response to Hashicorp's Cease and Desist Letter | OpenTofu
opentofu.org
On April 3rd, we received a Cease and Desist letter from HashiCorp regarding our implementation of the "removed" block in OpenTofu, claiming copyright infringement on the part of one of our core developers. We were also made aware of an article posted that same day with the same accusations. We have investigated these claims and are publishing the C&D letter, our response and the source code origin document resulting from our investigation.

    I’ve been reading that website for ten minutes and I still have no idea what this project does

      It’s open source fork of terraform. It’s a tool for setting up cloud infrastructure in a way that can go into source control.

          Assuming you are not joking: Terraform is a tool to build virtual machines and networks etc from a configuration file. So, I make a file describing a webserver with 16GB of TAM, a system and data disk each 1tb, 3 network interfaces with ip addresses etc etc. and feed it to Terraform. TF will then contact my cloud(s) an d build it all.

    Oh would you look at that, trying to kill off the open source alternative fork of your product you tired to close off before your acquisition by IBM.

    This is the kind of shit companies are trying all over against everyday consumers, now trying against enterprises. Hope HashiCorp’s acquisition falls through and they go under! OpenTofu for life.
