Transfer osquery-go to the foundation #65

Closed directionless closed 3 years ago

directionless commented 4 years ago

A couple times recently we've talked about transferring https://github.com/kolide/osquery-go from Kolide to the foundation. Having now talked to a handful of people, I believe that this is desired by all parties, and feasible.

As it stands, the osquery-go project is covered by an MIT license. And it's minimal CLA does notcover re-licensing. Our charter requires that all inbound works conform to our usual license. But allows the TSC to accept other things on an exception basis.

This presents us with 3 options:

  1. Accept it as it stands. This is obviously simple, but does create some future confusion because it brings in another license to our mix
  2. Relicense. This would require contacting all contributors, who were not kolide employees during the time the contributed, and getting signoff to re-license.
  3. Both, do (1) then (2)

I think we should pursue (3). Things that need to happen:

  1. TSC needs to signoff on accepting MIT
  2. Kolide should sign a thing
  3. repo should transfer

I am working on (2) and (3). Can the rest of the TSC (@zwass, @theopolis, @muffins, @groob, @alessandrogario) weigh in? By our charter. electronic voting requires consensus, else majority in a meeting.

I will be out the next few days. Please take this as my agreement to transfer the repository under the existing license.

We talked about this in office hours today. We had a voice vote of the TSC members present, and we agreed to transfer this in with the current license. We will pursue re-licensing under the foundation.

Present and in favor:

No votes against
