Spacelift’s latest statement on HashiCorp’s BSL adoption

What's this blog post about?

Spacelift has promised a more comprehensive update on the impact of HashiCorp's recent license change on its operations and customers. While there is no immediate impact on current operations, there are long-term consequences for the entire community that need to be addressed collectively. All current versions of Terraform remain unaffected, and Spacelift believes it is not in violation of the new license as it does not incorporate any Terraform source code into its services. However, concerns have been raised about the vague wording of the license and HashiCorp's willingness to change interpretation according to their business objectives. Spacelift has decided to back a community effort to create a level playing field for the future relevance of the Terraform language and ecosystem.
