OpenTofu Joins the Linux Foundation

What's this blog post about?

OpenTofu, a fork of legacy MPL-licensed Terraform, has joined the Linux Foundation and will be going through the process of joining the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. OpenTofu is community-driven, impartial, and ensures that valuable features and fixes are accepted based on their value to the community, regardless of their impact on any particular vendor. By joining the Linux Foundation, OpenTofu remains truly open source and neutral, free from the influence of any single company. This move provides a dependable path for users to maintain the status quo without worrying about BSL complexities or potential alterations in Terraform's license terms.
