license issue with barbican
by Thomas Bechtold 29 Jul '16

Hi, Barbican has a plugin called dogtag[1]. This plugin imports "pki". While I tried to add pki as an extras requirement[2] I realized that it's dogtag-pki[3] that is required and not pki[4]. Using pki leads to an import error because there is code from dogtag-pki needed that is not in pki. So I started to look into dogtag-pki and wanted to add it to the global requirements repository but while doing that I realized that dogtag-pki's license is GPLv2. And according to[5] this is incompatible. How to handle this? Should the dogtag plugin be removed from barbican's source tree? Best, Tom [1] http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/barbican/tree/barbican/plugin/dogta… [2] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/344232/ [3] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dogtag-pki [4] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pki [5] http://governance.openstack.org/reference/licensing.html

[keystone][murano][trove][imm] Changing OpenStack LLC to OpenStack Foundation

Bug 1214176 seeks to "Fix copyright headers to be compliant with Foundation policies" and one of the changes being made is to substitute "OpenStack Foundation" in places where the code said "OpenStack LLC". Someone just pushed changes to Keystone, Murano and Trove today and I have some concerns about this change. Consider the following changes, [2], [3], [4], and [5]. They assert a copyright in 2011 or 2010 of an entity called "OpenStack Foundation" that was only established in 2012 [6]. Are these changes legally accurate? -amrith [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1214176 [2] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/346675/1/keystone/policy/backends/rules.py [3] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/346673/1/tools/install_venv.py [4] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/346669/1/murano/common/cf_config.py [5] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/346669/1/murano/common/config.py [6] http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20120919005997/en/OpenStack-Launches-…

Dinesh, With the required disclaimer that I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on TV, I believe that the changes proposed to Trove in [1] do not make sense. I am not, I do not believe, competent to answer the question of whether or not the earlier changes to cinderclient or ironic must be reverted. -amrith [1] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/346673/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Bhor, Dinesh [mailto:Dinesh.Bhor@nttdata.com] > Sent: Monday, July 25, 2016 8:44 AM > To: OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) > <openstack-dev(a)lists.openstack.org> > Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [keystone][murano][trove][imm] Changing > OpenStack LLC to OpenStack Foundation > > Hi amrith, > > I can see the patches got merged against that bug with similar changes: > > [python-cinderclient] > https://review.openstack.org/#/c/47453/2/cinderclient/base.py > [ironic] > https://review.openstack.org/#/c/47451/2/ironic/common/image_service.py > > Do you think these changes needs to be reverted ? > > Thank you, > Dinesh Bhor > > -----Original Message----- > From: Amrith Kumar [mailto:amrith@tesora.com] > Sent: Monday, July 25, 2016 4:30 PM > To: legal-discuss(a)lists.openstack.org > Cc: OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) > Subject: [openstack-dev] [keystone][murano][trove][imm] Changing OpenStack > LLC to OpenStack Foundation > > Bug 1214176 seeks to "Fix copyright headers to be compliant with > Foundation policies" and one of the changes being made is to substitute > "OpenStack Foundation" in places where the code said "OpenStack LLC". > > Someone just pushed changes to Keystone, Murano and Trove today and I have > some concerns about this change. > > Consider the following changes, [2], [3], [4], and [5]. > > They assert a copyright in 2011 or 2010 of an entity called "OpenStack > Foundation" that was only established in 2012 [6]. > > Are these changes legally accurate? > > -amrith > > [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1214176 > [2] > https://review.openstack.org/#/c/346675/1/keystone/policy/backends/rules.p > y > [3] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/346673/1/tools/install_venv.py > [4] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/346669/1/murano/common/cf_config.py > [5] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/346669/1/murano/common/config.py > [6] http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20120919005997/en/OpenStack- > Launches-Independent-Foundation-Begins-Work-Protecting > > > __________________________________________________________________________ > OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) > Unsubscribe: OpenStack-dev-request@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev > > ______________________________________________________________________ > Disclaimer: This email and any attachments are sent in strictest > confidence > for the sole use of the addressee and may contain legally privileged, > confidential, and proprietary data.
