Oxide and Friends 4/24/2024 -- All we have to fear is FUD itself

The Oxide Friends have talked about the Hashicorp license change, the emergence of an open source fork of Terraform in OpenTofu, and other topics in open source. A few weeks ago both InfoWorld and Hashicorp (independently?) accused OpenTofu of stealing Terraform code-a serious claim that turned out to be fully unfounded. We talk about this FUD and FUD generally. We (you!) have been lucky to avoid this topic with a couple of guests lined up to talk about the xz exploit discovery and founding the Oakland Ballers… but we ran out of distractions!

From what I've heard, it really seems like Microsoft was trying to instill a "red scare" about Linux.
