Hi Mark,

I have went though the announcement in details, From my point of view, it seems 
to resolve the license issue that was blocking us in before. I have included 
the Magnum team in ML to see if our team members have any comment.

Thanks for the support from foundation.

Best regards,
Hongbin

Hopefully today’s news that Mesosphere is open major sourcing components of 
DCOS under an Apache 2.0 license will make things easier:

I’ll be interested to hear your take after you have time to look at it in more 
detail, Hongbin.

Hi all,

A brief introduction to myself. I am the Magnum Project Team Lead (PTL). Magnum 
is the OpenStack container service. I wrote this email because the Magnum team 
is seeking clarification for a licence issue for shipping third-party software 
(DCOS [1] in particular) and I was advised to consult OpenStack Board of 
Directors in this regards.

Before getting into the question, I think it is better to provide some 
backgroup information. A feature provided by Magnum is to provision container 
management tool on top of a set of Nova instances. One of the container 
management tool Magnum supports is Apache Mesos [2]. Generally speaking, Magnum 
ships Mesos by providing a custom cloud image with the necessary packages 
pre-installed. So far, all the shipped components are open source with 
appropriate license, so we are good so far.

Recently, one of our contributors suggested to extend the Mesos support to DCOS 
[3]. The Magnum team is unclear if there is a license issue for shipping DCOS, 
which looks like a close-source product but has community version in Amazon Web 
Services [4]. I want to know what are the appropriate actions Magnum team 
should take in this pursuit, or we should stop pursuing this direction further? 
Advices are greatly appreciated. Please let us know if we need to provide 
further information. Thanks.
