[kwlug-disc] Terraform licensing

[Mikalai Birukou]

I just learned about Terraform and BUSL-ing it.

Quote from announcement 
https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/hashicorp-adopts-business-source-license

"""

... there are other vendors who take advantage of pure OSS models, and 
the community work on OSS projects, for their own commercial goals, 
without providing material contributions back. We don’t believe this is 
in the spirit of open source ...

"""

Remember we were saying that GPL is a way to ensure contribution comes 
back and it is a way to ensure your contributors are respected? AGPL is 
for cloudy formation, I guess.


Smug comment: can we say that push towards BSD/MIT style licensing shows 
cracks in comparison to using (A)GPL's ? Terraform size cracks?
