While working on puppet-neutron, i discovered that puppet-neutron depends on the sysctl puppet module[1] which is GPLv2 (be careful to not confuse it with another sysctl module[2] which is apache2). This dependency has been added a long time ago (in juno or before).

It seems we have a license issue (ie: apache2 code depends on GPLv2 code)?

I'm not a lawyer, but I'd agree that this may be a problem. Do Puppet module "dependencies" count as libraries / derivative work ? In the past, we addressed almost-similar issues, where GPL-licensed Puppet modules were included in an otherwise-Apache licensed package, but that was a direct inclusion of code, not a Puppet runtime module dependency. If that was indeed an issue, what would be our technical options ? Is puppet-neutron the only module affected ? -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
