The Kinesis Client Library v2.x and the AWS Java SDK v2.x both are now on the Apache 2.0 license. https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client/blob/master/LICENSE.txt https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java-v2/blob/master/LICENSE.txt
There is a PR for the Kinesis Producer Library to update it to the Apache 2.0 license (https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-producer/pull/256) If I understand the Amazon software license issue correctly updating to these new major versions (and the KPL when it's available under the Apache license) will allow the Kinesis connectors to be distributed in the core build. (making my life easier) I haven't seen a Jira ticket specifically for an upgrade in major version, but it would solve this one, though otherwise than intended! https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7673 Unless there are already discussed reasons not to upgrade, I'll stick a ticket in for it and cross my fingers that the KPL PR gets merged sometime in the relatively near future. Thanks, Dyana
