The code isn't entirely third party. The source I incorporated is clearly derived from Cloud.com (now Citrix's) Hyper-V driver. As soon as it was moved to a different file, the Cloud.com copyright was deleted. However, the code I use is a copy/paste job from the original driver.
Rather than use the current driver, I could use the driver from Diablo, which is wholly copyright of Cloud.com (now Citrix) DL > -----Original Message----- > From: David Nalley [mailto:da...@gnsa.us] > Sent: 31 January 2013 05:35 > To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org > Subject: Re: Redistributing 3rd party code licensed under Apache License 2.0 > > On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 7:19 PM, Donal Lafferty <donal.laffe...@citrix.com> > wrote: > > I have a specific question on incorporating existing code under Apache > License 2.0 that I forgot to ask earlier in the month. > > > > My Hyper-V plugin calls down to modified versions of the OpenStack Nova > driver for Hyper-V. > > > > In my repo, I've: > > > > 1.
