The core of every HashiCorp product is/was OSS. None of Spacelift is OSS, for example.

I’m not claiming it’s not the same monetization model, but with endless talk from these companies about the commitment to OSS and the virtues of OSS and the benefits HashiCorp has and would continue to receive by keeping their code OSS - it’s just ironic to see most of these companies have no open source code and aren’t actually willing to commit to an OSS model.

I can't say I'm familiar with the other companies/their tools but I assume they're all somewhat nebulous to terraform - did they not try to contribute back to hashicorp terraform?

In the TF scenario specifically it seems like it would have been smarter for hashicorp to open the core oss project to some outside contributors more directly (potentially moving to a different "ownership" on GH).

Maybe they'll relent and throw support behind the new project. Who knows.
