New feature branch for handling license issues around LZO install

Hi all,


I am creating a new feature branch called: branch-AMBARI-22457.

This is to address a concern around Ambari installing LZO package which has a GPL license without clearly notifying the user.


The affected use cases and the tasks can be found attached to this Epic:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-22457


BR,

Sid

Follow-up on the lzo changes:

Just to be clear, users today have to explicitly enable the LZO codec before Ambari takes action to install it.  
These changes will require users to additionally read the LZO license terms before opting in to allow Ambari to install LZO.

BR,
Sid
