OpenTF core member here. If you're comfortable opting into an ecosystem where most of the key products are offered and supported by a single vendor (in this case, Hashicorp), then yes, there are no licensing issues to worry about and basically nothing needs to change for now.

But our philosophy at OpenTF is that users would rather participate in an open ecosystem where multiple vendors compete for their business. If you're not happy with one vendor, you can easily switch to another; competition works to make all vendors better.

When we look back at this comment a year from now, I'll wonder how your company will feel about the responsiveness and new features they're getting from Terraform Cloud when the primary incentive to stay is not because you think it's the best product available, but because switching costs are so painful.

OpenTF core member from Gruntwork here. All great products require focus, and right now our sole focus for OpenTF is creating the best possible truly open source and community-driven successor to legacy Terraform.

I'd personally love to see an open source path forward on other products that Hashicorp re-licensed like Packer, but those will need to be a separate project and initiative.

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.

Your main pitch is on open source standardized contracts and that definitely resonates, but as a current Ironclad user where they’re our single-most expensive SaaS subscription, your contract lifecycle management system built for startups is what resonates for me.

Do you plan on offering migration services from Ironclad? That would amount to importing our workflows and repository.

Gruntwork | Software Engineers (Senior, Principal, Staff) | 100% Remote/US time zones | Full-time | https://gruntwork.io/ At Gruntwork, we aim to improve humanity's most important invention: Software. Our product enables software teams to launch and maintain production-grade cloud infrastructure in days, not months.

We create the building blocks that devs and DevOps engineers can use to make launching in the cloud 10x better / faster / easier. We think of our work as creating a new paradigm for how DevOps can be done, one that leverages the insight that many companies re-invent the foundations that software engineers need to build and launch their apps. We work with AWS, K8s, Terraform, Go, Typescript, and React, and introduce new tech as needed. We’re a small team (~20 people), but our clients include Toyota, Adobe, TicketMaster, Verizon, and lots of startups.

We are profitable, self-funded (no investors, no debt), pay salaries, equity, and bonuses according to transparent formulas, and are very focused on building a company we're proud of. We are 100% remote, with 2/3 of our team in the USA and 1/3 in Europe. We have company-wide in-person meetups every few months. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

Our measure of a successful Grunt is (1) think like an owner, (2) make impact, (3) communicate effectively, (4) be a good person. If this sounds like you, we're hiring!

(This is my second feature request on this thread; apologies for any noise.)

Stripe Billing helpfully allows you to set the original subscription start date to a past date, but only at subscription creation time. If we could modify the subscription start date, then Stripe could be authoritative for when 100% of our subscriptions actually started.

Comment · 4 years ago
Yep, tried that. But we want an auto-renewing contract of 12 months, and subscription terms require you to have an end date.

We use Stripe Billing and it's gone very well overall, but the biggest miss for us is that Stripe conflates "contract term" with "billing frequency." We sign up customers for annual contracts but bill them monthly, but Stripe Billing only understands the "bill monthly" part of that.

Are there any plans for first-class contract term support coming?
