X-Debbugs-Cc: 

Previously, Canonical removed LXD from the community maintained Linux
Containers project, and as in-house contributors moved on / resigned,
Canonical removed their commit access to the LXD project hosted at Canonical.

The original Linux Containers upstream project, along with contributors from
other distributions launched the Incus project, a fork of LXD that is community
maintained.

LWN covered this before:

Now, Canonical has relicensed LXD, including relicensing for contributions that
they don't own, in addition to that, they require CLA acceptance for all
contributions, which might not have been a big deal if it wernen't for their
history.

Some more details on stgraber's blog:

I suggest looking into Incus and consider switching to that as the LXD
implementation packaged in Debian.

thanks!
