No, 

Kolla and kolla-ansible are projects for "install openstack" including components which are necessary as for example mariadb, rabbitmq.

This Kolla and kolla-ansible projects are Apache2 licence - I am just asking if I can add the code which will actually install BSD license software.

Because on the end it's user choice and his responsibility.

As example I can point you to redis

Kolla - https://github.com/openstack/kolla/tree/master/docker/redis

Kolla-ansible - 
https://github.com/openstack/kolla-ansible/tree/master/ansible/roles/redis

Redis was open-source AGPL , but now they changed - https://medium.com/@darioajr/the-new-redis-licensing-and-its-market-impact-6e9142426ec4

For example in Kolla we had also discussion about redis removal.

So I would like to know how it is, can Kolla as openstack project  provide a path to *install* a software which is BSD and for example add a note to the documentation.

Thanks

Are you proposing to actually have OpenStack distribute code that is
under BSL 1.1? Because I think that clearly should not be done.
