You can raise it on the legal-discuss mailing-list (or I can have it
formally looked up by the Foundation legal counsel) but I'm 99% sure the
answer will be that we can't. All OpenStack software must be licensed
under a license supported by the Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
which allows redistribution by the OpenStack Foundation under ASLv2
(currently only the MIT and both forms of the BSD license meet this
requirement).
