[Again] Decision about DRBD 9?

[GrumpyGeorge]

Short

1. LinBit chose to set a restricting license for drbdmanage in 10/2016
2. Proxmox chose to no longer actively integrate non-free technology
3. LinBit reverted the license of drbdmanage to GPLv3 little later (according to german wikipedia and stated in github repository for drbdmanage)
4. Does the Proxmox Team consider to include DRBD 9 again, or will it never in for the Proxmox Team?

Hi,

I read some threads in this forum about the discussion of the mentioned topic. I wonder if it is so, that LinBit is - because of the license change in 2016 - considered to be trustworthy no longer and thus the software is avoided, because it may happen again?

I like DRBD and I am using it with Proxmox. And of course I know: If I want support for it I may go to linbit itself if I like to use DRBD 9. But I'd love to see it integrated.

Regards,
George

P. S.: I can not post the references for the statements, because I'm not allowed as a new user to post external urls.

Linbit wants to maintain the packages by themselve.

Ok. I see I misunterstood. Thanks for clarifying.
