I don't think there is a future for TFE in the face of OpenTF. It's a dumb Terraform runner, the competition has far more features and integrations with other tools. The BSL was HashiCorps way to curtail competitors and it has backfired spectacularly.

Ohad co-founder of env0 here, early supporter in the OpenTF initiative. TFE and TFC have a future. Competition is good for everybody. It forces innovation. However, only OpenTF will make sure to properly differentiate between the OSS layer and the commercial layer.

The competition is between real platform engineering tools like yours, spacelift, humanitec, morpheus, etc. Real innovation, not just running TF plan/apply.

To be fair, competition from us (Spacelift) and our other competitor friends had an extremely positive impact on TFC/TFE over the last two year or so.
