[License Exception Request] [kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api] [MIT]

[robscott]

Component details

We're making modifications to mkdocs-material templates that are MIT licensed in kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api#3132. This is all actually in an attempt to meet CNCF trademark guidelines 😄, so we're unlikely to be the only ones to run into this. In a recent Slack thread I was encouraged to formally ask for an exception via this process.

License name

MIT

Code modified?

Yes, some snippets will be modified, see https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/pull/3132/files for an example.

Changes contributed?

Not applicable - we're making modifications that are unique to our docs following the recommendations of mkdocs-material.

Any alternatives?

There are some, but this is one of the easiest tools to use, and is already widely used within the k8s ecosystem.

• kubernetes-sigs / aws-load-balancer-controller
• kubernetes-sigs / network-policy-api
• kubernetes-sigs / cri-tools
• kubernetes-sigs / gateway-api
• kubernetes-sigs / security-profiles-operator
• kubernetes / cloud-provider-aws
• kubernetes / ingress-nginx
• kubernetes-sigs / external-dns
• kubernetes-sigs / sig-multicluster-site

Integrates with other components?

Not applicable, just used for documentation.
