Re: [DISCUSS] Terraform CloudStack provider
Hi All,
Update - Peter and I had a call with Chris from Hashicorp to discuss the issue. They've agreed to relicense their terraform provider codebase to Apache License v2.0, following which we should be able to continue any further development, maintenance, and releases by the Apache CloudStack project much like the kubernetes provider codebase.
I'll start a vote thread on the same shortly.
Regards.

Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Terraform CloudStack provider
Hi Peter,
I had explored the migration of repo, but before we do that we need to get the original authors to relicense the codebase to Apache License v2.0. I'll discuss this with Hashicorp authors and report back soon.
Regards.

Subject: AW: [DISCUSS] Terraform CloudStack provider
Hi all,
are there any updates regarding this topic i.e. migration of HashiCorp Terraform provider to Apache CloudStack, either registering it in HashiCorp's registry?
kind regards
Peter

Hi Wido, Will, PL, all,
I think I can setup a repository and request ASF infra (who prefers a JIRA ticket) to enable PR/issue on it, anybody has an objection to a new apache/cloudstack-terraform repo to maintain the provider plugin?
Regards.

Hey PLD,
You may want to tune into this. I think you may be maintaining a fork based on this code, but I am not positive.
