The OpenTF Foundation has announced that it is moving forward with its eponymous fork of HashiCorp Terraform, which was recently changed to a non-FOSS license by the company. The organization has applied to become part of the Linux Foundation, “with the end goal of having OpenTF as part of Cloud Native Computing Foundation“. There is a GitHub repository for its manifesto, but the code repository for OpenTF is private for now, with plans to open it up in the next week or two. Work has been going on for the last week and more developers are coming on board:

So far, four companies pledged the equivalent of 14 full-time engineers (FTEs) to the OpenTF initiative. We expect this number to at least double in the following few weeks. To give you some perspective, Terraform was effectively maintained by about 5 FTEs from HashiCorp in the last 2 years. If you don’t believe us, look at their repository.

Some of the people behind OpenTF are participating in a Hacker News thread, so more information can be found there as well.
