I'm
more than happy to recommend a number of cloud services and am
more than willing to give advice on how to configure and run tools
and bots from those services. It's even possible to reuse the work
we're doing in the tools project, or in the Wikimedia infrastructure
via our puppet repository since our infrastructure is Open Source.
Very nice idea – how I get the mysql-replication-stream? I got several
offers of donation if the Toolserver would continue; the only problem is
the replication-data. But because the data is open-source, it shouldn’t
be a problem than, should it?
Assuming you found a non-profit, host your infrastructure somewhere that
doesn't cause legal issues and every person that has access to the data
stream signs an NDA it's likely doable.

Can WMF please confirm that this is the case and it wasn't a boutade? If
yes, could you indicate a single point of contact interested parties can
negotiate such an arrangement with?
(See also the first unanswered question by Sj at <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Future_of_Toolserver#September_2012
.)
Generically, legal(a)wikimedia.org would be the point of contact for
anything like
that.
I think there is some historical context here I'm missing, so I'm looking
into it, but can't promise an answer particularly quickly.
