BUSL-1.1 licensed code found in tflint

[johanneskastl]

Summary

During packaging tflint for openSUSE, we found that there are BUSL-1.1 licensed files included. Which means we can no longer package tflint.

BUSL-1.1: 8 files

    tflint-0.51.1/terraform/lang/funcs/filesystem.processed.go
    tflint-0.51.1/terraform/lang/funcs/filesystem_test.processed.go
    tflint-0.51.1/terraform/lang/funcs/sensitive.go
    tflint-0.51.1/terraform/lang/funcs/sensitive_test.go
    tflint-0.51.1/terraform/lang/funcs/terraform/functions.processed.go
    tflint-0.51.1/terraform/lang/funcs/terraform/functions_test.processed.go
    tflint-0.51.1/terraform/lang/functions.go
    tflint-0.51.1/terraform/lang/functions_test.processed.go

I found #2037 which mentions the licensing.

Could someone please clarify, which license tflint is now being released under?

Kind Regards, Johannes

This is already well-documented in the readme:

Thanks for the quick clarification. I had missed the README, sorry. Sad, but we will have to drop tflint from the distribution.

Anyways, keep up the good work!

P.S.: IANAL, but GitHub shows MPL-2.0, Unknown licenses found, so apparently it gets confused by two license files. You might want to fix that...
