What was the trademark situation?
1 comments

It was called OpenTF or OpenTerraform. Hashicorp might have had an issue with using the name Terraform.
It was never called OpenTerraform, they knew enough to avoid that as an obvious trademark problem. It sounds like after consulting with lawyers they determined even OpenTF was too close [0].
