    Not affected today, many businesses were started from home. We already know it’s not possible any more to build a business using hashicorp products as they could pivot at any moment and then you’d be “competing” and in breach of license.

      Yes but is that affecting you businesswise, for example using terraform for proviosioning infrastructure for a customer? As far as I understand this move it affects companies like gruntwork who makes a business on top of terraform with terragrunt. Dont get me wrong, I do dislike this change also but saying „it is not open source anymore“ is just wrong. It is still open source but its usage changed for companies making a dollar here or there with technologies they dont develop.

        That’s not open source.

          It is. You mix free software and open source, their often but not always the same.

                Stop shilling proprietary licenses in this community.

                1. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

                The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

                Also go look up the word discrimination.
