Hi, > I don't have any concern about 3rd party BSD and MIT code in the system. That is spelled out in the LICENSE file. I just don't have a clue about the legal standing of non-Apache licensed code that is downloaded and built into the binaries. The licenses in general place no limits on the content of the binaries. > ASF policy does. Anything in the binary produced by an Apache project (with a few exceptions) needs to be compatible with the Apache license. Basically you can include anything from Category A [1] and Category B [2] but not Category X. [3] MIT is fine in this case. Thanks, Justin 1. https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a 2. https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b 3. https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
