#HashiCorp's Boundary 0.16 is here with an update that simplifies connecting to target infrastructure, has better search and filtering, and adds MinIO compatibility.
"(...) The #OpenTofu team vehemently disagrees with any suggestion that it misappropriated, mis-sourced, or otherwise misused #HashiCorp’s #BSL code. All such statements have zero basis in facts. (...)"
#Hashicorp sending their lawyers on #OpenTofu feels like the last chapter of what was once a great open source company. Oh well, the claims look baseless, and like pretty much any move Hahicorp made this past year, this will only hurt themselves.
When I heard that Teleport ist gonna change their license, I almost had a "aight, here we go again" moment after being fucked with by #Lightbend and #HashiCorp recently. Thankfully they switched to AGPL and not BSL (which I think stands for bullshit license).
The common tactics of companies "promoting #opensource" to gobble up a larger audience and then pull a bait and switch with the licensing seems to have caused me some serious PTSD.
Hashicorp CEO furious that #FOSS works as intended and he won't be able to pull the rug from under the devs community's feet in ways similar to the MO of web services who accrue vast amounts of data and user-generated content in their siloes built from expropriated information.
HashiCorp CEO predicts OSS-free Silicon Valley unless the open source community lets him destroy the entire concept of open source and rebuild it in his capitalist vision
This is really important: these companies don't just want to relicense their software, they want to destroy open source itself as a concept and replace it with something they can control.
