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.
