License exception for `github.com/docker/docker/client`

Open jon-whit opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I noticed that the github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient Go package is on the exception list, but the official github.com/docker/docker/client is not. The github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient even recommends any new projects should use the official Docker client SDK from Docker.

Would your governing body consider an exception for github.com/docker/docker/client (as the fsouza package recommends) or is there a strong reason that the governing body only supports the existing one on the exception list?

@jon-whit the docker/docker/client is under Apache License 2.0 it does not need an exception, we use this in cadvisor and containerd etc (see their go.mod's)
