License exception for hashicorp/terraform projects
luebken opened this issue · 5 comments
The following projects by Hashicorp are MPL 2.0 licensed and we would like to ask for an exception so the Terraform-based providers can be part of the Crossplane project.
- github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-sdk
- github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws
- github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-azurerm
- github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-google
For more information about the integration please see the design doc: crossplane/crossplane#2536.
@luebken, waking this up again! I'm pulling things together for an April vote.
For all license exception requests, we need the following information in order to help make a decision to grant an exception.
- What is the alternative license?
- If this is newly created code, why can't it be under Apache-2.0?
- Is this an existing 3rd party open source project?
- How does this code integrate with or interact with, if at all, other components of CNCF?
- How will the code be maintained? Who is responsible?
- How will the code be kept up to date with security patches?
Filed crossplane/crossplane#4284 to check for activity
The Crossplane project will consolidate our efforts on Hashicorp usage and license auditing alongside the rest of the CNCF ecosystem/projects in #617, so we can make the most efficient usage of the CNCF's time and resources.
Feel free to close this issue out and expect a follow up there from us soon, thank you! 🙇
