Thanks Jeremy and Hong Bin, I will talk with Mesosphere guys in this week's sync up meeting for this to see if we can integrate it to Magnum. Will have you updated if there are any feedback on this.

Recently, one of our contributors suggested to extend the Mesos support to DCOS [3]. The Magnum team is unclear if there is a license issue for shipping DCOS, which looks like a close-source product but has community version in Amazon Web Services [4]. [...]
Their EULA at https://docs.mesosphere.com/community-edition-eula/ indicates (item 4 subpart ii): "Licensee will not (and will not allow any third party to) [...] (ii) sell, assign, distribute, provide, lease, lend, disclose, use for timesharing or service bureau purposes, or otherwise use or allow others to use for the benefit of any third party, any Licensed Software (except as expressly and specifically authorized by Mesosphere)." So without explicit permission from Mesosphere it doesn't seem like the OpenStack community including Magnum developers can legally redistribute DCOS Community Edition at all, regardless of whether it's within the bounds of our community norms (which I also feel like it isn't). -- Jeremy Stanley
