The one caveat with EUnit is that it is released under the LGPL.
I am not a lawyer but the consensus on "The Net" is that writing
test-cases against the EUnit API and conditionally including
eunit.hrl to include the API does not mean that the test code itself
must be released under the terms of the LGPL. If anyone is
familiar with this, can you comment on whether this is correct?
Best for you would be to send a question to [email protected]. With my
conservative hat on, I'm a bit concerned about LGPL virality in
namespaced languages, and most definitely concerned with distribution
of EUnit itself (I reckon this is not necessary as EUnit is part of
OTP now?).
Thanks, I'll check with legal-discuss@ when this list agrees on adding
EUnit support. Bundling EUnit is not necessary as of the latest OTP
release and for earlier releases you need to install it manually or you
can't run `make test` which is not too much of a problem, I'd say.
Thanks
Jan
