   Tbh I don't really understand what the implications of #hashicorp 's licence changes actually are. What does it mean dor tools like terragrunt and atlantis, which make use of #terraform? Could someone #eli5? 😅

     @mhamzahkhan It's not an open source compatible license, so it categorically breaks downstream open source code. Red Hat will have to remove it from Openshift, for example.

     @vwbusguy @mhamzahkhan
     I don't claim to understand all the implications of this change but this comment made me chuckle. So RedHat just made life more difficult for downstream rebuilds and now they are getting a taste of their own medicine.

     @derekmceachern @mhamzahkhan Yup. There's a bit of schadenfreude to it, for sure. Though to be clear, what Hashicorp did was definitely more egregious and I hope that those who feel that way about Red Hat's move won't give Hashicorp a pass either. There are a lot of other open source projects who have been using Hashicorp stuff in good faith that definitely didn't deserve this kind of disruption.
