OpenTofu
MPL-2.0 Linux Foundation Terraform fork; truly OSS IaC
DevOps / IaC · OSS/MIT · 30.1k
What's Good
MPL-2.0 under Linux Foundation / CNCF gravity. HCL-compatible with most Terraform providers/modules. Native state encryption shipped; community registry. Swap binary, tofu init — usually.
The Catch
Vs Terraform/Pulumi: license-first fork of Terraform 1.5-era lineage — not Pulumi programming-language IaC. Not HashiCorp Cloud/Enterprise features. Provider edge cases exist; verify before big migrations.
Verdict
MPL-2.0 Terraform-compatible IaC. The OSS license answer to BSL.
