So based upon this discussion would it be prudent to wait on VyOS 2.0? The 
current VR is giving us issues but would the time invested in another 
"solution" be wasted especially if by the time another option is chose, then 
coded, then tested, then implemented and right as that time happened to be when 
VyOS 2.0 is released.  Of course you said they are just in the scoping range so 
this could still be a year or more out.

Thoughts?

Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Replacing the VR

I just had a quick chat with a couple of the guys over on the VyOS chat.
I have CC'ed one of them in case we have more licensing questions.

So here is the status with the license "the code inherited from Vyatta and our 
modifications from it is GPLv2 (strict, not v2+). The config reading library is 
GPLv2 too, so anything that links to is is GPLv2.
Some auxiliary components we made after the fork are more permissive,
LGPLv2+ or MIT."

They are currently in the process of scoping a redesign (VyOS 2.0), "we are 
planning a clean rewrite that will solve issues of the current config system".
This will include the ability to configure via the API.

If we have more questions for VyOS, they are very friendly and responsive, so 
we should be able to get answers.
