Re: [technology-pmc] Adding JCStress dependency for concurrent collectio

[Wayne Beaton <wayne.beaton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not subscribed to the Eclipse Collections dev list, so you'll have to summarize this discussion there.

Combining with the GPL can be a bit problematic from a licensing POV. How do you glue project code to the library? Are there APIs that you need to use? How are those APIs licensed?

The wiki page on Test and Build Dependencies rationizes that what you're describing is "works with" and tells you what you need to do.

Hi PMC

We have a Pull Request for Eclipse Collections wherein we want to add jcstress-based tests for concurrent collections. However, jcstress is GPL licensed. From the Eclipse License FAQ, EPL and GPL are not compatible. Since JCStress will not be a direct dependency but only for build. So, this falls under the “Workswith” Dependencies.

Can you please approve addition of the dependency according to the Eclipse Policy and Procedure for 3^rd Party Dependencies guidelines?

JCStress license link: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/code-tools/jcstress/file/64f2cf32fa0a/LICENSE  

License Wiki link which I referred to: http://www.eclipse.org/legal/eplfaq.php#GPLCOMPATIBLE

Thanks,

Nikhil.
