Dell - Internal Use - Confidential
Hello Pacemaker Admins,

We have a query regarding licensing for pacemaker header files

As per the given link http://clusterlabs.org/wiki/License, it is mentioned that "Pacemaker programs are licensed under the GPLv2+<http://hg.clusterlabs.org/pacemaker/stable-1.0/file/tip/COPYING> (version 2 or later of the GPL) and its headers and libraries are under the less restrictive LGPLv2+<http://hg.clusterlabs.org/pacemaker/stable-1.0/file/tip/COPYING.LIB> (version 2 or later of the LGPL) ."

However, website link http://clusterlabs.org/doxygen/pacemaker/2927a0f9f25610c331b6a137c846fec27032c9ea/cib_8h.html, states otherwise.
Cib.h header file needed to be included in order to configure pacemaker using C API. But the header file for cib.h states that the header file is under GPL license
This seems to be conflicting the statement regarding header file license.

In addition, which similar issue has been discussed in the past http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linuxha/pacemaker/75967, no additional details on the resolution.

Need your inputs on licensing to proceed further.

Thanks & Regards
Santosh Bidaralli

I'll leave the author and/or RH legal answer the overall question.

My concern is that you posted to a public mailing list (and archive)
with that header in your email...

Dell - Internal Use - Confidential
Thanks for the response Digimer.

My apologies for any inconvenience it has caused. I have not attached the header file, instead provided the link to the opensource.

We will follow up with the author.

Thanks,
Santosh

You don't seem to understand the problem. You are, inadvertently, exposing
us to your internal legal issues.

We do not wish to be exposed to internal, confidential, Dell issues. If
this is NOT an Internal, Confidential, Dell issue, remove that header.

Thanks for clarifying. I think the extension in our outlook automatically adds the header. There is nothing confidential in the information being exchanged in previous.
I have removed the header.

Thanks,
Santosh
