At the moment, from the above link, and if you want it tied to OASIS open repositories, it has to be one of: BSD-3-Clause License (which shall apply if the TC makes no license selection in its approval action); Apache License v 2.0; CC-BY 2.0; CC-BY 4.0; Eclipse Public License v 1.0. I am not a lawyer, but can full OS images we licensed under one of these? If not, you are better off creating the repository itself outside the confines of OASIS. You can still use e.g. virtio-dev mailing list for communication. > -- > Manos Pitsidianakis > Emulation and Virtualization Engineer at Linaro Ltd
