Hi Sean,

please review these commits in drbdmanage upstream:
http://git.drbd.org/drbdmanage.git/commit/2312d7e7657f98728b6ae1601d8c77010f6adca2
http://git.drbd.org/drbdmanage.git/commit/24ff36ec21f5b7cfdfe38b1888b64eb01f463240

Basically everything behind the dbus API GPL-v3. All files included by the
cinder driver are LGPL-v3.

To the best of my understanding this make the drbd cinder driver now
compliant with all OpenStack licensing rules and OpenStack infra rules.

Is there action required from my side to get the attention from
openstack-infra about this move?

best regards,
 Phil
