OpenTF Forks Terraform and Joins Linux Foundation

OpenTF, a group concerned about the openness and neutrality of Terraform, has forked the project and joined the Linux Foundation. The group aims to ensure that Terraform remains truly open source and free from vendor influence. OpenTF has received pledges of support from four companies, equivalent to 14 full-time engineers, with expectations for this number to double in the coming weeks. This move highlights the open source community's proactive approach to addressing issues and filling voids in projects relied upon by the community.
