Terraform Operations #7 OpenTofu and Licensing: The BSL Switch, the IBM Acquisition, and How to Choose

We walk the timeline from the 2023 BSL license switch and the OpenTofu fork to the CNCF acceptance and the completed IBM acquisition of HashiCorp. We cover what the BSL actually prohibits and why it is irrelevant to most users, where the two tools have diverged, how to choose based on your situation and what to check before migrating — and close out the Terraform track with a note on the Associate certification.
