Subject: Re: [Pvfs2-users] Alluxio issue with OrangeFS's LGPL license

The problem with dual licensing is the number of people that have committed to 
the project over the years, we would have to get approval from all of the 
entities that committed code under LGPL and get them to agree to shift it to or 
add additional licenses.    If they are only worried about including the JNI 
code, we could look at releasing that under dual license (since it is the only 
Java portion), do you think that would meet their needs?

One last question: our organization has been investigating Alluxio Community 
Edition (https://www.alluxio.com/products) and would love to use OrangeFS over 
Ceph (which is supported out of the box) but the pull request providing 
OrangeFS integration is stalled due to Apache licensing conflicts with LGPL: 
https://github.com/Alluxio/alluxio/pull/2818#issuecomment-289100833   This may 
be a long-shot, but has the OrangeFS team considered dual-licensing or moving 
to a more permissive license?
