 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.

 Terraform providers are not affected by this change. They are independently licensed and can be used with any version of Terraform and OpenTofu. While HashiCorp maintains some providers, the vast majority are not maintained by HashiCorp. Most importantly, the [`terraform-provider-aws`](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/blob/main/LICENSE) remains under the MPL license.

 Historically, Terraform versions pre-1.x were notoriously backward incompatible. This changed with Terraform 1.x releases, where backward compatibility is assured for all subsequent 1.x releases. While Terraform provides a stable experience, its recent shift to the BSL license introduces considerations for certain use cases, integrations, and compliance.
 
-OpenTofu is based on Terraform 1.5.7 (the last MPL-licensed version) and maintains compatibility with Terraform 1.x modules and continues to evolve as a fully open-source project under the CNCF. Cloud Posse modules and components are verified to work with OpenTofu, but with hundreds of modules, there may be delays in verifying full support with every new release.

+OpenTofu has not been without controversy, with some organizations expressing concerns about the project's governance and sustainability. [HashiCorp sent a cease and desist](https://opentofu.org/blog/our-response-to-hashicorps-cease-and-desist/) to the project. However, the project has gained significant traction and support from the community, including key contributors from the original Terraform project. As a result, [it's sandbox application to the CNCF is delayed](https://github.com/cncf/sandbox/issues/81#issuecomment-2331714515) (as of 2024-09-05).
