There are collectd plugins available with different licenses but Apache 2.0 
seems not be compatible with GPL 2.0.

https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Category:License

and

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#apache2

So this looks like we have general problem of adding binary API support to apps 
which are GPL2 licensed.

I took a note to have a look at collectd during yesterday’s vpp project call.

There appears to be a license issue. 
Seehttps://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin_architecture - “The [plugin] 
license must be compatible to collectd's own license, the GPL 2.”

Give that all fd.io<http://fd.io/> code carries an Apache2 license, that seems 
like a showstopper.

Comments from the TSC and community are more than welcome.

Thanks… Dave
