Kind of makes sense, it made OpenTF made me think of OpenTheFuck ... which is not ideal.
At the time of posting, this submission links directly to the OpenTofu Github organization, which does not say anything about the name change. Here are some links that are specifically about the name change: - https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/issues/296 - https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/20/terraform-fork-gets-a-new-... - https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/20/terraform_fork_opentf...
From the last link: " The name OpenTofu was adopted out of concern for, as you might have already guessed, trademark litigation. " Because Hashicorp might not like the "TF" (for Terraform).

Hey! Interim tech lead of OpenTofu here. I'd like to add that as of today (announced just now at OSS Bilbao) we're officially part of the Linux Foundation[0]! Hope you like the new name (it basically won the votes anywhere it was proposed) and happy to answer any questions! [0]: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/announcing-opentofu
Have you considered terrafork?

Out of curiosity, how does OpenJDK not get sued into fine pulp over this? Oracle owns the Java trademark and aren’t exactly known for being kind in matters of litigation.

What I think you are talking about when you say OpenJDK is called Adoptium now (https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html). Earlier called Adopt OpenJDK.
Similarly Eclipse folks named their project Temurin and so on.

Will the CLI be renamed to `tofu`?
Okay, it's kinda cute, but it's not good.
