I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice.The DSE license appears to be incompatible with Apache 2.0 and hence, likely ineligible to be included in JanusGraph by default. I'm happy to check in with The Linux Foundation legal but this seems to be clearly incompatible with JanusGraph such that we cannot include it into the distribution by default.DataStax Enterprise (DSE) driver license starts off with:1. Software LicenseSubject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, DataStax grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited, royalty-free license to use the unmodified Licensed Software, without the right to re-distribute to any third party, and only in conjunction with the use of DataStax Enterprise software. This license does not extend to certain premium functionality of the Licensed Software, unless you have a paid DataStax Enterprise subscription.The highlighted part means that you cannot use this driver with open-source Apache Cassandra, only with DataStax Enterprise, which means you must have a license for DSE. Additionally, it depends whether "LDAP authentication" is considered a "premium" feature or not.The same paragraph also says that you cannot modify or redistribute this client driver software to any other user, which places it in the "Apache Category X" set of licenses: https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#criteria because it fails the open source definition: https://opensource.org/osd-annotated of free redistribution.Any customer is welcome to use this driver in their own environment, but they will have to abide by the license terms themselves.Misha
