Hello Dietmar

You confirm exactly what I was afraid of. I fully agree that the package of 
Linbit's drbdmanage shouldn't be in your package but I don't agree concerning 
the DRBDPlugin.pm in '/usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage'.  This perl script is the 
interface between PVE and DRBD. A stable or coordinated versioning between 'PVE 
package - DRBDPlugin.pm - DRBD package' will be critical. 

A version change on Linbit's side or PVE side without adaption of the plugin 
could hit a stable environment. I don't know who should be the owner/developer 
of 'DRBDPlugin.pm', but anyway it needs a coordination especially if PVE/DRBD9 
is used in production. So I understand Michele's hesitation.

Regards,
Enrica

I fully agree here.

No, your new license implies that. It would be illegal to provide support (in 
any way) for drbdmanage.

Besides, it would not make any sense to have two repositories including the 
same packages - what for?
