Question about redistribution of this container image #318

Open elee3 opened 6 years ago

elee3 commented 6 years ago

Hi, if I use this container image as a base and then add my own software in it and offer it to others for testing purposes (non production), are we running into any licensing issues here with the EULA?

twright-msft commented 6 years ago

Question for clarification - are you distributing to people within your own organization, to your customers/partners, or publicly?

elee3 commented 6 years ago

Thanks for your reply. Customers/partners.

Any updates on this?

twright-msft commented 6 years ago

Still discussing.... This might take a while, but I will update back here once we have something on this.

@twright-msft were you ever able to come up with a policy on this?

We have a similar concern. My organization produces open-source software for US K-12 organization, supporting use of MS SQL for backend data storage. We distribute Docker images of our software. Ideally, at least for testing, we would have an image where the base layer is MSSQL, and our custom layer would simply install our tables schema. Can we redistribute that image, so long as the end user still needs to set the ACCEPT_EULA environment variable?
