Is OpenTofu also planning to maintain the language server (terraform-ls) or is that not within the scope ? I was not able to find any language server related repository.
It's a cute name, but as a consultant, I don't think this is going to help me convince technology leaders to adopt this project over Terraform.
The criticism of hashicorp seems childish. Why shouldn't they restrict the way in which companies make money from their inventions as they see fit? There's a lot of thoughtless entitlement among some of the attitudes being expressed in this debate.
This discussion ship has sailed.
Are there any official statements about the cloud vendors' support or non-support for OpenTofu?
As a total outsider, what's wrong with "TF"? Doesn't a penis picture as a github symbol rather bother anyone?
It's more practical and less hilarious. There is a thing called acronym, abbreviation, or initialism copyright. For Hashicorp's Terraform, "TF" is a well recognized abbreviation. Hashicorp can't prohibit anyone from using "TF" in all areas, but it can argue that "OpenTF" confuses users that expect anything "TF" to mean "Terraform". You can probably create a "OpenTF juice maker" without problem but OpenTofu especifica…
I believe Dave McJannet, HashiCorp's CEO, should be concerned. OpenTofu has garnered massive support, with the project gaining admission to the Linux Foundation and even receiving public support from companies like Allianz. Within HashiCorp, the CEO has fostered a toxic culture characterized by a large workforce that strives to do as little as possible, relying solely on the dedication of a few committed employees, m…
> OpenTofu has garnered massive support, with the project gaining admission to the Linux Foundation and even receiving public support from companies like Allianz. I don't know. It feels like this support comes from the vocal minority and competitors. I'll believe such a statement when more big multinational companies show support. Right now, I don't believe there is as much support as is currently made out.

There are around 19 full-time engineers staffed for the project from various companies. That is a lot more engineers than HashiCorp themselves had developing Terraform at the time of the license change.
Various companies being all HashiCorp competitors: https://opentofu.org/supporters

"OpenTofu" is cute, but tofu has nothing to do with terraforming. How about "Genesis" or "Reliant" or "Marcus" or "Kruge"?
It's a nice pun and at the same time is close to the original, which would help Terraform users recognize the brand. Your suggestions are nice, but less recognizable in that way. Maybe we can take that pun to extreme though! If they ever have a designer that can come up with some crazy lore of terraforming with tofu that would be really really awesome. But I think they have more pressing matters right now.
