Hi All,
First thing, I went back and refreshed my memory about the board
resolutions for LocationTech that allowed non EPL licenses &
LGPL for certain components... it approved the
license,
and not the software, so that's why things like Geotools are still
going through IP review.
I'm still digging regarding the Spark using metrics-core issue.
Related, from:
https://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse_Policy_and_Procedure_for_3rd_Party_Dependencies_Final.pdf
I can see how one might argue that GeoTrellis (for instance) has
additional functionality enabled when dropped in with Spark, but
can exist without it in other contexts. In that case, maybe
there's an argument to be made for workswith. It's not black &
white though so I'll chat with Janet & Sharon to get their
thoughts.
Also, from the same document:
"
2. All "works-with" dependencies as determined by the PMC are
approved for use by the projects
without further EMO review. "
So, assuming I don't learn reasons why it shouldn't be so, it may
be that the PMC agreeing that things like Hadoop, Spark,
Accumulo, and distros of each are workswith dependencies may
resolve a lot of this.
More soon,
Andrew
