Hi,
Just a quick question:
Is AGPLv3+ an acceptable license for a third party library that is a
dependency for an Openstack project?
I read:
(from http://governance.openstack.org/reference/licensing.html)
In order to be acceptable as dependencies of OpenStack projects,
external libraries (produced and published by 3rd-party developers)
must be licensed under an OSI-approved license that does not restrict
distribution of the consuming project. The list of acceptable licenses
includes ASLv2, BSD (both forms), MIT, PSF, LGPL, ISC, and MPL.
Licenses considered incompatible with this requirement include GPLv2,
GPLv3, and AGPL.
Is AGPL the same as AGPLv3 (and therefore not acceptable)?
Thanks,
Ade Lee

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for legal advice about having GPLv3 file in Kolla
repository. Our use case doesn't seem to be derivative, so I think
that should be possible to pull off - having an single gpl v3 module
within Kolla without affecting general Kolla license, but it's highly
unorthodox so I would like to have second opinion on that front.
