There is not an ongoing lawsuit the best I can tell (there is a settled confidential one) .. BUT .. there is also nothing wrong with bacula charging for a license, especially in an enterprise environment (as long as they are playing nicely with all open source licenses, etc). I would therefore not necessarily expect to see a change in RHEL with respect to this issue. At least not specifically because of $$$ for licenses. I have no inside information of any kind .. but going on the rules for EPEL (ie, not interfering with RHEL packages) and not necessarily seeing a problem for RHEL (at least RHEL 7) from a licensing perspective, I personally would expect that bareos MIGHT replace bacula at some point in future versions of Fedora and then that MIGHT be rolled into RHEL 8 and then make it into CentOS as part of that version. Again, I have no direct knowledge, but that would be my expectation. Thanks, Johnny Hughes
