I don't think Chris Friesen's question is an OpenStack project question, since the issue he's worried about results from his own discretionary choices downstream, if I understand everything correctly here.
While true that downstream choices are involved, I think it would be beneficial to the OpenStack project to clearly highlight any legal issues around the use of various sub-components. Given that OpenStack itself is Apache-licensed, someone could easily miss the fact that it uses sub-components with other licensing.
But Monty said "We don't use mysql-python itself. We use sqlalchemy ..." and sqlalchemy is more permissively licensed than OpenStack itself. Aren't the range of 'legal issues' around downstream use of OpenStack along with sqlalchemy effectively unlimited? That's basically my point. - RF
