Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-6767:
----------------------------------------
I actually think the ASF's interpretation of the LPGL is the issue here,
there's been some coverage of the Hibernate Clause
[http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00009.html] that could
get things to co-exist -someone needs to talk to the JNA people about licensing
here.
If we could get the licenses compatible then we could drop all cygwin
requirements and say "use JNA for windows". That would be a step towards making
windows a supported platform, rather than something for people to play with
Hadoop on before going into production. A step: you still need to test at real
or virtual production scale with the target OS, which means some variant of
Windows Server. I don't want to get involved in that, dealing with
inconsistencies between Linuxes is painful enough. MS might be able to offer
cluster time.
First step: someone has to approach JNA and say "what do you mean by LGPL"?
