So yes, there are a number of vendors using external pypi libs, however when reviewing those additions the first thing we've usually done is verify that the licensing is open source and compatible. In this case that was not checked it appears and given that the license is proprietary I think that creates a problem in some cases.

I'm not certain, but we (OpenStack) as well as distros do not need to install/distribute this package, but can leave it to the end-user no? I'd need to defer to folks that are more well versed in licensing than myself but it seems to go against the philosophy or our community so I view it as a critical bug and support either a revert or if Netapp is willing a change of the license.
