LGPL V3 and GPL2 allows you to use Gluster's api (e.g: libgfapi) to use
in proprietary software. But proprietary code can't be put in to
Gluster's code base. That means any code put in to GLusterFS should
follow GPL v2 and LGPL v3+ . However I am not a lawyer, so please find
a licensing expert or lawyer for any IP legal advice.
