What’s influxdb? I’m afraid I don’t understand this sufficiently well
to provide useful comments, but I trust you to make the right decision.
:-)
Influxdb is an optional dependency, you can configure prometheus to use it as storage. It is not included in any ways. What is included is a module that can connect to it.
The thing is, Glyphicons does seem to be non-free, so if it ends up
being included one way or another, we have a problem. I would have
expected Debian to provide replacement icons or something like that.
In the case it is included, as part of bootstrap, it is under the apache license, because of a special agreement, that when it is part of bootstrap it is dual licensed to this effect. My current evaluation is that it is ok to include the package as is.
