[LU-304] Cray-specific licenses are not appropriate in community GPL release https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-304 Lustre <p>I don't believe that Cray-specific licenses are appropriate in the community release. I will attach a patch to remove them.</p> LU-304

Cray-specific licenses are not appropriate in community GPL release

Bug Minor Resolved Fixed Peter Jones Christopher Morrone Tue, 10 May 2011 16:47:32 +0000 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 15:44:06 +0000 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 14:51:11 +0000 Lustre 2.1.0 Lustre 2.1.0 0 3 <p><a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/529" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/529</a></p> <p>It may make sense to remove the LICENSE.cray files, but I'm checking with Cray legal to find out what this is about and whether they agree.</p> <p>The original commit was against Lustre bug 16098, but I don't have access to it.</p> <p>commit cbb0d69e53c0f928c5f43eeb125ba87283fe561b<br/> Author: kalpak <kalpak><br/> Date: Tue Aug 26 04:52:29 2008 +0000</p> <p> b=16098<br/> i=hua.huang</p> <p> add a special LICENSE file for Cray</p> <p>Can someone say what bz 16098 was about? I'll report back as soon as I hear back from our legel dept.</p> <p>Cray doesn't understand where the special license came from and why it exists. It may make sense to remove it, but I think we need to understand why it was there in the first place. Cray legal is still following up, but they need some help.</p> <p>Does anybody know how to get a hold of Hua or kalpak? Perhaps they can shed some light on this.</p> <p>Kalpak's current email is kalpak@clogeny.com.</p> <p>Oracle have graciously opened up 16098 but there is not much to explain the rationale behind this. It seems that the ticket was an exercise to standardize the header files into the standard Sun format after the CFS integration. Kalpak added a "special Cray licence file" but there is nothing to suggest why. Perhaps Andreas remembers why as he seems to have been involved in the exercise...</p> <p>Originally, CFS licensed Lustre to Cray under a proprietary license in order to allow it to be linked to the Catamount operating system (via liblustre). My understanding is that Catamount was not open-source, and the viral nature of the GPL license for Lustre would require Catamount to be GPLed as well.</p> <p>Since we no longer control the copyright on the Lustre code, this extra license clause has no meaning any longer, because nobody but Oracle could every re-license the code.</p> <p>Andreas, thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I figured it had something to do with RedStorm and liblustre, but I was confused why the change was made in 2008 <img class="emoticon" src="https://jira.whamcloud.com/images/icons/emoticons/smile.png" height="16" width="16" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"/></p> <p>I'll forward this to Cray legal and come back with their advice. Thanks again! </p> <p>Cray legal has said that we do not object to the removal of the language.</p> <p>Thanks Cory, we will land Chris's patch then</p> <p>Patch was landed, closing bug.</p>
