License exception for hashicorp/terraform projects

[luebken]

The following projects by Hashicorp are MPL 2.0 licensed and we would like to ask for an exception so the Terraform-based providers can be part of the Crossplane project.

• github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-sdk
• github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws
• github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-azurerm
• github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-google

For more information about the integration please see the design doc: crossplane/crossplane#2536.

@luebken, waking this up again! I'm pulling things together for an April vote.

For all license exception requests, we need the following information in order to help make a decision to grant an exception.

• What is the alternative license?
• If this is newly created code, why can't it be under Apache-2.0?
• Is this an existing 3rd party open source project?
• How does this code integrate with or interact with, if at all, other components of CNCF?
• How will the code be maintained? Who is responsible?
• How will the code be kept up to date with security patches?

@luebken - checking in here, any updates?

Pinging again, is this still needed?

Filed crossplane/crossplane#4284 to check for activity

The Crossplane project will consolidate our efforts on Hashicorp usage and license auditing alongside the rest of the CNCF ecosystem/projects in #617, so we can make the most efficient usage of the CNCF's time and resources.

Feel free to close this issue out and expect a follow up there from us soon, thank you! 🙇
