Netdata is now mostly closed source

[waffshappen]

One of the member projects (Netdata) has become essentially closed source and has been violating CNCF Charter 11 e (All projects evaluated for inclusion in the CNCF shall be completely licensed under an OSI-approved open source license.) for months. (NCULv1 licensed blobs are currently in their repo)

The agent (data collection) itself is and will remain open source after notifying the project, as a token effort, but to view the collected data in a project tested way netdata will require to use the project's closed source v2 dashboard going forward, and even that will be cut down to a locked down, login-gated closed source v3 edition (currently in the works).

To my understanding this means that the project is not on solid ground for continued inclusion in the CNCF as a project (not as a member), as even removing the blobs from the project repository would leave netdata as a data collection tool that, to be used properly in the future with tools approved and tested by the netdata team itself, requires the use of a closed source dashboard full of upgrade, login and soon machine count limits (max 5) that would lock you into the project's practices at a whim.

Please clarify whether netdata can continue to use CNCF's good name and reputation for open source under these conditions and the lock-in path they're on.

Please also clarify whether removing the blobs but providing a project that collects data with no way to view it would also meet the inclusion criteria. Since netdata as a project, if you look at their webpage or github, is collection + evaluation (which is the real value of the project to its users).
