HashiCorp Switches to BSL And I Hate Everyone and Everything

Well, maybe not everyone. This week we decided to do a little crossover episode with my other podcast Day Two Cloud. My cohost from the D2C pod, Ethan Banks, joins me and Chris to discuss the latest licensing changes over at HashiCorp.

• The FAQs do address some of the questions
• OpenTF Manifesto
• Terraform is Dead?
• A very thoughtful piece from Yehuda Cohen that makes some predictions
