On: HashiCorp adopts Business Source License

Your line of thinking was that Pulumi uses terraform providers under the hood, right ?

It’s a good question. I suspect several forks might be happening as we speak.

I believe providers are still OSS-licensed.

Correct, according to the Hashicorp license change FAQ - https://www.hashicorp.com/license-faq#How-does-this-impact-t...

And I checked the contribution guide for the aws provider, no mention of a CLA there. I wonder if Hashicorp would be able to pull the providers under the same BSL in future ?

My understanding is that a _lot_ of the AWS provider was written by AWS developers on the clock. I think that pattern holds true for a lot of "official" providers. For that reason I don't expect to see BSL for providers.
