There are three reasons that you, as a regular Terraform user, should
care.
</p>
<p>
First, if you want to automate your Terraform process, like you would
with any other code, you are limited to either spending your precious
engineering time and money to build your own solution or using
Terraform Cloud. HashiCorp is removing options from you in how best to
automate your Terraform process.

want to contribute back to Terraform, given there's no certainty they'll be able to use their own work at a

</p>
<p>
Finally, consider why the license change was made: HashiCorp is
concerned that its competitors are having too large of an impact on
its revenue. What will HashiCorp do if this change does not have the
impact on revenue that they hope?
</p>
<p>
In short, the BUSL is a poison pill for the entire Terraform community.
