Terraform is a popular infrastructure-as-code tool that allows you to define, provision, and manage cloud resources. Terraform is developed by HashiCorp. From inception to 1.5.7, all versions were permissively licensed under the OSI-approved MPL software license. All newer releases are available under the Business Source License (BSL). The BSL license imposes restrictions on the use of Terraform in certain scenarios, which may impact long-term use and compatibility with third-party tools and integrations.

Subsequently, every major open-source OS distribution ([Alpine](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Release_Notes_for_Alpine_3.19.0#HashiCorp_packages), [Homebrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/terraform)) has removed Terraform from their registries due to the BSL license. [GitLab has also removed Terraform](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/deprecations.html#deprecate-terraform-cicd-templates) from their CI/CD pipelines due to the BSL license. This has created a significant challenge for organizations that rely on Terraform for infrastructure automation.

OpenTofu (previously named OpenTF) is a fork of Terraform 1.5.7 that was [accepted by the CNCF](https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/announcing-opentofu) and is fully open-source under the MPL license. OpenTofu is designed to maintain compatibility with Terraform 1.x modules and components while providing a stable and open-source alternative to the BSL-licensed Terraform versions.
