It's becoming it though.

Waiting for Hashicorp's next move to introduce some proprietary incompatibility with Terraform Cloud API just so they can artificially damage OpenTF.

One has to wonder how much collaboration was prevented by having Hashicorp refuse to hear their users or accept PRs. At some point, opensource or not, people just stop bothering.

TF's excellent plugin ecosystem that is not owned by Hashicorp will teach them a bitter lesson.

Well, CloudFormation is as proprietary as it comes so I'd say you chose correctly with TF.

Thanks, that's really appreciated.

One thing that is always unclear with company-owned projects is what is exactly going against their business plans so you don't waste time preparing a PR only to get half-baked excuses about why it can't be accepted.

Point in case, the numerous PR's and issues to disable warning coalescing in Terraform that are always met with a dismissal but nobody understands why.

IBM probably disagrees and as much as people expected RH to show IBM how to work, I think history is repeating itself and things are happening as they always did.

As with Sun in the old days, good luck actually collaborating as in a healthy open source project but the license doesn't specify there should be a community around anything so it's all good.

Hashicorp doesn't have RH's moat at all.
