In the announcement literally the only mention of this is:
> The manifesto outlined the intent of the OpenTF initiative in two steps — the first was to appeal to HashiCorp to return Terraform to the community and revert the license change they were making for this project. The second, in case the license was not reverted, was to fork the Terraform project as OpenTF.
> Since no reversal has been done, and no intent to do one has been communicated, we’re proud to announce that we have created a fork of Terraform called OpenTF.
What you’ve quoted and linked to is the manifesto before this announcement.
They could have played the announcement much differently to how they did, but they chose not to, and chose to focus on the positives instead.
It’s not even in the announcement faq.
> they could've left out all the judging side comments.
That is literally what they did.
I imagine the manifesto will disappear now that it is, obviously, superseded.
Just give it a tiny bit of time, yeah? Come on, what they’re doing seems like good work, well played and without nastiness.
OpenTF core member here. To build on this comment, we've tried to intentionally focus on positively meeting our needs, not on negatively villifying another company for trying to meet their needs. You can see a good example of this in https://github.com/opentffoundation/manifesto/issues/165#iss....
We do not fault HashiCorp for trying to build a thriving business and we respect their amazing achievements and contributions. However, on this one issue of the Terraform license, we do not agree with their position and believe strongly in the need for a truly open source, community-driven Terraform.
