***END DISCLAIMER**

Dear TSC,

I'd like to kindly ask you to approve or reject usage of packages in 
ONAP containers that are licensed under:

Apache-2.0 - same as ours

Artistic - "equivalent of GPL" extended beyond software

GFDL
GFDL-1.2
GFDL-1.3 - copyleft licenses used for documentation 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License)

GPL-1 - copyleft license (for difference to popular v2 see 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2844055/what-is-the-difference-between-gplv1-to-gplv2-in-simple-words)

GPL-2 - copyleft license (probably the most popular).  Everything that 
links with GPL code has to be GPL but you may use it in docker image 
without linking and then you code may be under different license but you 
need to make sure that users of your software will get the copy of GPL 
license and access to the source code that was used to create the binary

GPL-3 - copyleft license which extends the restrictions put by GPL v2 to 
not only provide the source code and license text but also exact 
instructions how to replace the given component in your product. Many 
companies have concerns regarding this license thus please pay spacial 
attention to this one.

LGPL-2
LGPL-2.1
LGPL-3 - used for libraries. The library code is licensed under 
particular version of GPL but does not enforce GPL license on the 
component that links with it. (unless you modify the library itself)

MPL-1.1
MPL-2.0 - mozilla public license 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Public_License)

OpenSSL License - used in older versions of openssl now openssl uses 
apache 2.0 (https://www.openssl.org/source/license.html)


There is also a dozen of less popular but usually permissive and widely 
accepted licenses:

BSD
MIT
CC0-1.0
zlib
boost
OpenLDAP
Python
SISSL
Vim
ISC
