The license of Atlantis won't change and if Hashicorp tried anything, I would just fork it myself and keep maintaining the fork

The licensing for Atlantis will remain unaffected by the changes.

I don't think we're affected by the license change, as long as we don't make any direct calls to the Terraform Core binary?
According to BSL 1.1
Q: Can I use BSL products to develop software that will be licensed under different licenses?
A: Yes, as long as you don’t include any of the BSL code in the code for the software that’s being developed, and you do not make production use of the BSL code.
And Atlantis isn't commercialised
d
Its embedded since we ship it in the docker images so we are affected as long as people don't try and make a commercial offering of Atlantis
The whole reason they did this was because of Spacelift/Env0

1. I am the author of an open-source project that uses HashiCorp technology in a non-competitive way (e.g. uses Terraform but not in a production environment). If someone else uses my project to produce a competitive product or hosted service (e.g. starts using my project in their SaaS solution), am I at risk of being considered competitive and violating the BSL license? Do I need to track all users of my project and report suspected infringing use? Only those who are actively embedding or hosting the HashiCorp products in a competitive manner would be in violation of the license. The violation would not extend to a project owner who is not doing so, and the project owner would have no obligation to monitor or report how others are using their project.
This should cover you— the only issue is that they keep on talking about production environments. That’s vague to me — does that mean the code you are running is not in production (I guess that’s what they are getting at) or that you aren’t setting up production infrastructure (ie terraform + CD?)
