OpenTofu Community Q&A
summary
OpenTofu is an open source fork of Terraform up to 1.5.5 hosted at the Linux Foundation with an NPL license, an elected Technical Steering Committee and published minutes, about 70 independent contributors and ~19,000 GitHub stars. It claims drop-in replacement compatibility with Terraform 1.6 (providers and modules work unchanged), documents golden migration paths, and ships release-defining features (1.7 alpha includes client-side state encryption). Providers do not need to be forked and community-driven proposals determine major features.
