License exemption for github.com/hashicorp/go-retryablehttp

[mattfarina]

github.com/hashicorp/go-retryablehttp is an MPL-2.0 project that is not currently listed as an exemption. We are asking it be added as an exemption so it can be used.

Would it be possible to get either a blanket MPL-2.0 exemption or an exemption for all of the hashicorp MPL-2.0 projects, instead?

+1 to this request. We have the same need at OpenTelemetry, we want to use several hashicorp dependencies which are MPL-2.0 and would greatly benefit from blanket MPL-2.0 exemption.

+1, would be useful for Kubernetes as well - kubernetes/steering#210

As a followup, the GB decided to not grant a blanket exception to hashi libs but will approve things on an individual basis. I expect a vote to happen within a month on this but I'm not worried as the GB intended to follow the status quo of approving the previous libraries. So thanks for your patience.
