The Terraform language should not be impacted by the license change any more than the GCC license impacts code it compiles (for example). I'd love to hear any assertions to the contrary.

I think that depends exactly on the licensing.

The GPL has a specific exception for GCC that prevents it from polluting the licensing conditions of compiled programs.
