At a minimum, the inclusion of APLv3 code means that the OpenStack Project is no longer solely an Apache v2 licensed project because AGPLv3 code cannot be licensed under Apache v. 2 License. Moreover, the inclusion of such code is inconsistent with the current CLA provisions.
This code can be included but it is an important decision that should be made carefully.
The inclusion of AGPLv3 code is not in question here. As Kevin puts it: "The drivers that Marconi uses are Apache2 licensed, MongoDB is separated by the network stack and MongoDB is not exposed to the Marconi users so I don't think the 'A' part of the GPL really kicks in at all" As best I can tell, we're really talking about how seriously OpenStack should take users potentially being concerned about deploying *any* AGPLv3 code in their infrastructure.
