[collectd] Question about contributing collectd plugins

[Foley, Emma L]

Hi Waleed,

It seems there are many different licenses for the plugins of collectd:
https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Category:License

As far as I am aware though, the plugins in the collectd source tree are all written in C.
If you want a Python-based plugin, you would have to host it separately.


Regards,
Emma

Hi Florian,

I am a collectd user. I have recently developed a few python plugins for my employer to monitor Linux servers in a widely distributed cloud computing environment. These plugins collect extensive virtual memory and storage devices related metrics. I am considering contributing them back to collectd. In order to get permission to open source these plugins, I need to know if there are any licensing requirements that will have to be fulfilled. On our end, we can open source only through BSD license. Let me know if it will work.

Regards,

A.Waheed.
