Nigel Jones commented on ATLAS-2084:
------------------------------------
The main Berkeley DB page is at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/berkeleydb/overview/index.html
The latest version is 12.1.6.2.32 - pulling the tar apart we see that the
library is licensed under the GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3
Referring to https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html it's clear the gnu
affero license IS NOT PERMITTED for being bundled with apache projects
For this reason I will have to close this JIRA - it seems we cannot include the
berkeleyDB libraries within Atlas. Not a huge issue as this is primarily for
devs, and other persistance options can be used.
Closing.

> Key: ATLAS-2084
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-2084
> Project: Atlas
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Nigel Jones
>
> In https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-2012 I proposed providing a
> dockerized version of Atlas to aid people getting up to speed with the
> technology. During the review it was noted that we had used Hbase for storage
> rather than the more lightweight, simpler, BerkeleyDB. My concern had been
> around licensing.
> Today when we build Atlas following the instructions at
> http://atlas.apache.org/InstallationSteps.html the user is directed to
> download the berkeleyDB jar from oracle. In ATLAS-2012 David/Graham pointed
> out that this DB appears to be Apache 2.0 licensed, which means we could
> incorporate it into our build legitimately.
> Given the necessity to get licensing correct I've opened up this new JIRA to
> focus on that change. We would need to
> * Validate we are indeed correct about the license
> * Add the DB file into the build
> * Update the web instructions
> * And optionally as per the original JIRA, consider making B-DB the default
> for our docker image (most lightweight).
> Please add your thoughts. I'm happy to get and do this change .
