I would expect pulumi to fall into the category of products that are a "competitor for hashicorp", as they say.

08/11/2023, 4:06 PMWe (Pulumi) made a quick statement last night on Twitter/X:
Pulumi stands with the open source community.
We are unaffected by HashiCorp relicensing their software in an actively hostile way to their own community, users, and customers.
Pulumi is true open source, does not depend in any way on BSL-licensed software, and never will

08/11/2023, 4:54 PM@some-notebook-86727 Not all Pulumi providers are bridged. Kubernetes, AWS Native, Azure Native, and Google Native are all native providers that do not take a TF provider as a dependency. Also worth noting that most TF providers are not maintained by HashiCorp and are instead maintained by the company whose resources are being managed (e.g. JFrog owns the Artifactory TF provider).
