All older versions of Terraform are still available for forking under an open license, and their relicensing only will impact future proprietary releases, which will then have to compete with open versions of Terraform. OpenTF already exists, and people building infrastructure should prefer it over Hashicorp’s now-non-open software.

I guess IaC tools like Terraform (or similar) could be quite useful to declaratively compose specific cephalopodic incantations from the heterogeneous pool of compute, network, and storage, that constitutes the disaggregated manifestation of the coming ExaCthulhus; carving interwoven mission-optimized unums out of that block of e pluribus marble (or vice-versa?) … nice!
