We dive into the dynamics of open source projects and monetization today, specifically starting around the TerraForm and open tofu split. That topic is one that we love to chew over and potentially over analyze, but today’s discussion is different.

We go into how ecosystems are built both in open and proprietary and cloud systems, and look at sort of a historical perspective on what makes a project successful from an ecosystem perspective. We also dive into why some projects work like that, and why some projects don't.

Today’s episode gives a new take on some of the dynamics going on in the open source communities through the lens of what happened with Open Tofu and TerraForm.
