<div>That sounds like option #4, so then I guess we don’t need the TC to evaluate the “legalness” of this approach since it does not trigger GPL contamination.</div>

I went ahead and wrote the temp module that will fill the gaps that the GPLv3 modules will eventually solve. It appears that upstream Shade still doesn't have merge the capability to create roles, even though mordred has the reviews up. This means even if we
solve the licensing issue, we will still be lacking role usage support until shade is updated upstream.<br>

<div>The review listed below has a 'kolla_keystone.py' module. As well as two modules that are licensed ASL2.0 and I have permission from the author to use in our repo (there is a link in each module with a git commit referencing where they were pulled from
with the appropriate license).<br>

I pinged legal-discuss on this matter. I am hopeful the experts can<br>
provide guidance for the Technical Committee and our project as to how to<br>
proceed.<br>
