I did see https://github.com/diggerhq/open-terraform but have no idea if it is related. And I’m sure there are others. What I’ll be interested to see with the forks is how they will practically be maintained. All the bug and security fixes that HashiCorp is writing can’t just be cherry-picked into these forks (I think?), so what exactly are they supposed to do?

Update: and in the past hour this repo is gone.

Indeed, any fork will need to implement their own bug fixes.

Ideally they should do this "clean room" and not even look at the BSL'd code, to help defend against any accusations of copyright infringement.


Hi! OpenTF is not connected with a single company. This is an united, community-driven effort. You can check on the manifesto side who is behind. And we welcome all support!

The fork you mentioned is no longer existing.

Which is interesting, since Digger (the company that created that fork) is one of the OpenTF Manifesto signatories. Maybe they're recreating it under a different name / without the Hashicorp/Terraform branding all over the place?
