In Terraform-AWS-modules/Terraform-AWS-eks transitions to non-free licenseWhile I completely abhor the invasion, I can't help but feeling that the licence (and equally important) accompanying code change - https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks/b... - feels like a weaponisation of open source, and I think this is a dangerous thing to do. I do think that with change of "additional terms & conditions" to "additional information", it still feels an ethically dangerous place to be.
I would not be happy if a library codifies political statements. What could be next? Conditions that state you agree to vote for/against Trump, that you disagree with homosexuality or are against transphobia. Note, I'm not accusing anyone of having those views neither am I commenting on them, they merely serve as an example of the dangers of discriminating.
Dependencies and supply chain attacks are the big thing -
Read the rest
and while dependency scanning and pinning are an important component, but I don't think it is possible to use open source libs at scale without a certain amount of trust. I work on a platform where there are hundreds of teams and thousands of microservices. I'm now trying to think how we can assess the risk of thousands of dependencies and millions of lines of code. Without trust, the only way that's possible is to fork all libs, prevent open source and generally kill off any agility and velocity. My problem is that this weaponisation is killing off trust. It's not about sitting on the fence or taking sides in a war. It's about what open source has achieved over the last 30 years and I think that's now more at risk than before…
As I said earlier, I have updated the wording in README - https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks#a... . The project was and will be under the same Apache 2 license. You can continue using it as nothing is happening in Ukraine. I will never stop you or anyone else.
PS: It is not just Putin who attacks Ukraine but I don't want to go into this discussion here.

In Terraform-AWS-modules/Terraform-AWS-eks transitions to non-free licenseHi Anton,
I see at https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks/c... that you have dropped the additional terms of use. I think that should alleviate the concerns people had about a license change. I appreciate you listening to your contributors and users feedback on this emotional topic.
Putin khuylo!

In Terraform-AWS-modules/Terraform-AWS-eks transitions to non-free licenseHi. I am Anton Babenko, maintainer (ukrainian by heart) here. I have updated the wording in README to state the facts about Russia (facts with links to wikipedia) - https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks#a...
It was never my intention to make changes in a license in any way. It would be just wrong to drop 5+ years of my life working on all terraform-aws-modules and betray everyone who have been participating as contributors and users.
If there are questions, please ask here or twitter (@antonbabenko).
