Hi Roland

I really don't want to blame Linbit or Proxmox and I understand you that you have to protect against some vendors. I hope that Proxmox responsibles are reading all these mails here. I know that it was Proxmox's decision to remove all with DRBD9. But why? I think they don't want to risk violating your new license.

If you have a good understanding with Proxmox and vice versa, I really hope that you work together. I want to encourage both companies to clarify all uncertainlies. It's better for PVE/DRBD's future development.

Thank you very much.
Enrica

But you do understand that we also eat and like to have a roof over our heads? Hey, the Aparthotel Guggach Hotel from which domain you wrote looks nice, that could solve one problem! ;-)

In the end the license - and sure IANAL - is a "do whatever you like, but don't interfere with LINBIT's support business". IMO that's it. This was not a move against Proxmox at all, there are other vendors not playing nice... Just writing that because on the ML I have the impression that there is some kind of "Proxmox vs. LINBIT". It isn't.

For the "has to remove [...] completely": Puh, dangerous territory to comment on, but that was the decision of Proxmox. They have all the right to do that! No blaming, no nothing. There are other projects/companies that took another road and still ship, integrate, or use drbdmanage with the current license.

Regards, rck
