OpenTF – the fork of HashiCorp's Terraform infrastructure management project – is no more. The software has been renamed OpenTofu and placed under the oversight of The Linux Foundation.

You can name your open source software anything and people are fine with it.

GIMP has been setting that path for years.

There were actually reports of people not being able to use the GIMP in some organisations, there was even a fork that tried to rename but he is not actively developed.

I personally think Tofu would be a better name. Keeping Open when changing the name feels unecessary.
