Erlon, There are exceptions to this rule ((e.g. libraries used for testing), but the general result of the thread is that all python libraries imported by the drivers must conform to OpenStack licensing. That includes Apache and several other licenses (e.g. MIT, LGPL).

Alon, Its not clear to me what you mean with this sentence. You mean, 'all python library that is included from the drivers must conform to OpenStack licensing (i.e. Apache License)'?

I wouldn't say that the situation is cleared up -- we still need to get our act together and present a more uniform response to that question across multiple projects. But AFAICT your summary accurately represents the current Cinder team position on that matter. I hope we'll be able to hold a cross-project workshop on that question in Barcelona, so that we further clear up what is appropriate in-tree, as a separate project team and as an external project, across all of OpenStack. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev Alon Marx Infrastructure and OpenStack Team Leader Cloud Storage Solutions IBM Systems Phone: (+972) 3 689 7824 | E-mail: alo...@il.ibm.com
