Hi all, today I came about what I see as a possible violation of GPLv3 license in openstack/os-faults project. As all other openstack/* projects, openstack/os-faults and all of its code is licensed under Apache v2 license. But the code in os_faults/ansible/executor.py module explicitly imports multiple modules [0] from Ansible, which in turn are licensed under GPLv3 license (example of the first imported module [1]). IANAL, but as far as I understand Apache v2 and GPLv3 licenses are incompatible in this regard. I'd like to be proven wrong, but it seems this code in os-faults must be removed, and if needed rewritten to call out to "ansible" or "ansible-playbook" CLI scripts (and parsing their stdout) instead.
