In it, he says:\n\n> that OpenTofu may have illegally taken HashiCorp’s code to keep pace. At least, it’s hard to avoid that conclusion, perusing OpenTofu’s GitHub repositories and comparing them to HashiCorp’s.\n\nThe code in question is a new feature in Terraform 1.7 that also landed in OpenTofu as the fork maintainers work to maintain parity. Asay claimed:\n\n> OpenTofu took this BUSL-licensed HashiCorp code, removed the headers, and tried to instead relicense it under the Mozilla Public License (MPL 2.0).\n\nAs a beleaguered boxer might say, "Them's is fighting words." So, it naturally prompted many armchair software copyright lawyers to analyze the code in question and determine whether or not it was actually copy pasta. Smart people have landed on either side of this issue. [Dan Lorenc](https://www.linkedin.com/in/danlorenc/) from ChainGuard says:\n\n> I did my own audit and the samples bear no resemblance despite implementing similar functionality, which is honestly hard to do in Go where there are so few ways to do things. I can't possibly see any validity to this claim.\n\nMeanwhile, [Joe Duffy](https://twitter.com/funcOfJoe/status/1776479584613171288) from Pulumi concluded:\n\n> There are three major kinds of taint, from worst to least worse\n>\n> 1. Copied the code directly\n> 2. Read the source and was influenced by it\n> 3. Copied the functionality\n>\n> I’ve seen this game enough to know that if the file, function, and variable names, plus non-zero number of statements, match, you’ve probably got at least level 2 (if not level 1). And that’s a problem. That’s pretty clearly true of at least remove_statement.go.\n\nAsay later issued [this statement](https://twitter.com/mjasay/status/1776635226124632423) about his article:\n\n> I regret how strongly i expressed myself (force of habit 😬),but grateful for those who expressed support against mob dog piling. Two are execs my post put under fire. They didn't agree w/ my conclusions but responded w/ kindness. They're the kind of OSS community I want to join\n\nA few days later, OpenTofu posted this on their LinkedIn page:\n\n> OpenTofu Project was recently made aware of a letter by HashiCorp’s lawyers, alleging that OpenTofu was not respecting the terms of its BSL license governing its Terraform codebase. OpenTofu vehemently disagrees with any suggestion that it misappropriated, mis-sourced, or otherwise misused HashiCorp’s BSL code. Indeed, it seems that HashiCorp may be conflating code that it had previously been open-sourced under the MPL and more recently developed code it published under the BSL. OpenTofu’s maintainers have investigated this matter, and intends to issue a written response providing a more detailed explanation of its position in the coming days.\n\nI'm excited to read OpenTofu's written response, but I have a feeling it's only going to get uglier from here. If I'm running the OpenTofu project, I'd be seriously considering a change in strategy from "feature parity" to "differentiation" from now on...\u003C/p>\n\n\n    \u003Ccite>Break:\u003C/cite>\n    \u003Cp>\u003C/p>\n\n\n    \u003Ccite>Jerod Santo:\u003C/cite>\n    \u003Cp>[Polar is a creator platform for developers](https://polar.sh)\n\nPolar is like Patreon, but tailored to software creators. Their tagline is, "get paid coding on your passion" and, I have to say, that's a compelling proposition...\n\nThey're "just getting started", but the current suite enables maintainers to offer: exclusive posts & newsletters, access to private GitHub repos, Discord invites & "Sponsorship 2.0" (logos on your READMEs).

In the following weeks and months, we’ll continue to publish many additional datasets also coming from other open sources, such as open data or open science.\n\nMore info about this massive dataset:\n\n- Common Corpus is the largest public domain dataset released for training LLMs.\n- Common Corpus includes 500 billion words from a wide diversity of cultural heritage initiatives.\n- Common Corpus is multilingual and the largest corpus to date in English, French, Dutch, Spanish, German and Italian.\n- Common Corpus shows it is possible to train fully open LLMs on sources without copyright concerns.\u003C/p>\n\n\n    \u003Ccite>Break:\u003C/cite>\n    \u003Cp>\u003C/p>\n\n\n    \u003Ccite>Jerod Santo:\u003C/cite>\n    \u003Cp>[Loki is an open source tool for fact verification](https://github.com/Libr-AI/OpenFactVerification)\n\nThis Python-based tool is designed to automate the process of verifying factuality.
