> > By my understanding, this fix only make the hadoop native library compiled with pre-installed ZSTD binary, no ZSTD (GPL-2.0 license) code included in this repository. > > We are publishing pre built packages for users' convenience. We can not link it against pre-built library if it is distributed under GPL. Zstandard seems to be dual-licensed under BSD and GPLv2. I'm not confident about which is applied to pre-built libzstd.so redistributed by OS distros. I could completely understand your concerns for `LICENSE`. The terms of the license are too complicated to comprehend well. Fortunately, it appears that Apache Spark does support ZSTD and Spark guys had updated `LICENSE `and `NOTICE `in [SPARK-24654](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-24654). They provided the extra license statement in source tree: [LICENSE-binary-zstd](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/licenses-binary/LICENSE-zstd.txt). Shall we also create the similar LICENSE file for zstd binary in Bigtop? What do you think of it? @iwasakims -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
